Spurs big hitters all make starting line-up at Cardiff

All four of Tottenham’s big hitters have made the starting line-up as they prepare to take on Cardiff City in south Wales.

Harry Kane (£12.6m) leads the line supported by Son Heung-min (£8.8m), Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) in midfield.

Harry Winks (£5.5m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) get the nod in the holding roles, protecting a back-four which features Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m) either side of Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m).

Ben Davies (£5.6m), Juan Foyth (£5.0m) and Lucas Moura (£6.9m) are among the key names on the bench.

Callum Paterson (£5.1m) leads the Cardiff line once again, as Neil Warnock goes for a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Victor Camarasa (£4.6m), now the top-scoring Bluebirds midfielder, is stationed in the number 10 role today with Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Bobby Reid (£5.2m) operating in the wide areas of attacking midfield.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge, Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Cunningham, Gunnarsson, Murphy, Arter, Camarasa, Reid, Paterson.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Rose, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Trippier; Winks, Sissoko; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane.

    I would do love to see Llorente score a goal 🙂

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Might command a transfer fee if he does

    One Kane goal now changes DESTINY !!

    Not having Son or Pogba over the past 3-4 weeks has been very tough!

    Really surprised some of the veterans like Jay, Mark and Ronka don't have Son and some don't have Kane!

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Son at a tough price entry point...really would have meant selling someone like Sterling to get him

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I did exactly that a few weeks ago but went with Kane + Snoddy rather than Son + Budget striker.

        I really do think it's the year of the budget striker and loading up in midfield

  6. Fantastisk

    Auba and Digne -> Kane and Pereira for a -8?

    1. BOATIES FC

      No

    Ooh, i see lloris creeping up in the bonus. Any chance he gets something?

    Eriksen MOTM

    1. THFC4LIFE

      • 7 Years

      Been class

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years

      That pass to Kane in 85. Oof.

    3. tisza

      before the Everton games Spurs goals per game about double when Eriksen starts

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen is one of my favourite players. It's just that we don't always see his class translate itself fully into FPL returns, unfortunately.

  10. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Whats the chances of Kamara going up tonight?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What % is he?

      1. Fuddled FC
        • 12 Years

        97%

          About 4K in today, delta is 0 so who knows.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Looks likely, all the chat of finished & comes on & scores.

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Gotta be fairly high after that goal today and the fact he was even allowed on the pitch.

  11. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas on this lot

    Son + Alonso + Fernandez > Hazard + TAA + Bednarek (-4)

    Price changes tonight will price me out if I don't do it now

    Ryan Button
    Alonso Robbo Doherty Fernandez Bennett
    Salah Son Pogba Martial Richarlison
    Kane Ings Kamara

  12. g40steve

  13. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

    What an idiot player is Sissoko

  14. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sissoko 😆

  15. The Enlightener
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    All this talk about how good Poch is, but he consistently fails to take advantage of ideal opportunities to give Kane a little rest here and there.

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hes fit, he doesnt need a rest. 11 days untill next prem game anyway, what will 10 mins at the end if this game do in terms of ‘rest’ ?

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If you look at it as only this game for a sample size and contain that possible rest to just 10 minutes, then yeah, it's a different debate. This is something I've noticed over the recent seasons. But Maybe Harry just tells him he wants to stay on the pitch, so what do I know.

    2. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      It's not as easy as it seems, kane is very ambitious and poch knows it

  16. Lets jump straight into it.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    All these peeps getting Liverpool (& Man City) defence in for a 1-1 or 2-1 .....

  17. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Very interesting to know that Etheridge left out of the Philippines squad by Sven Goran

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Xmas is really a time for seeing some rarely seen squad pkayers. Hadn't spotted Llorente in a while

  19. child of God
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane no longer excites as he did in previous seasons

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Only just noticed 😉

  20. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Cardiff destroy that clean sheet!

  21. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    The number of people who knew where Sissokos shot was going to end up is laughable

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He possesses the worst 'touch' of any Premiership footballer.

  22. Merlinsnose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How many game weeks are the Asian games for please?

    With Son gone, who takes his place? Is it Moura?

    Is it time to get in Eriksen? Spurs have got five amazing games after Utd.

    Many thanks

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Its 12.45am here in India.. Going to bed..have excact funds to do robbo and son to taa and salah..taa showing 100.9 in fplstat.Do I need to do the transfer now?

      If 0.1 is important, probably.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      yeah

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Do it if you have exact money

  24. Lokako
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane goal in 92minutes. You read it here first

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Will there even be 2 mins added time?

    2. bialk
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He just missed it.

  25. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    classic!
    Bet365: Son goal and at least 4 goals in this match. 3-0 after 26 mins, Son scored. ------> Spurs are wasting every fkn chance they get and I'm losing 100 bucks.

  26. I Member
    • 8 Years

    Kane, Salah and Hazard the big three to own?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Salah, Auba, Haz I think you mean.

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No, I think Kane can now be replaced. I agree about Salah and Hazard though.

  27. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Son is a fantasy beast! Going to be so sad to see him go.

  28. Zilla

  29. diesel001

  30. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane shouldve had a couple more here.. not being greedy or anything... just sayin.

    1. Wild Rover
