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.

    Salah and Kane essential?

    1. Ribus
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Indeed

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Nah

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        1 of those two not The forward.

  2. diesel001

    Latest BAPS:

    Kane (45)
    Son (36)
    Eriksen (35)
    Lloris (33)

    1. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Likely to stay like this?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No. All the top 3 have deductions and Kane gets winning goal baps.

          Ummm

        FFS has

        Kane 3 Son 2 Eriksen 1

  3. Dannyb

    5 years, 3 months ago

    I might get rid of Kane now that Sons gone tbh. I think it's gonna have a big effect on him.

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

      *going soon

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What, playing closer to goal?

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

        Lucas Moura....

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Please do. One less casual to worry about.

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

        Casual? Do one

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nah bringing Son in now would be casual. Selling someone who is scoring points for fear of the impact his teammate's absence could have is overthinking if anything.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kanr plays better with Alli and Eriksen in the team anyways. Don't think Son gone will impact too much on Kane's returns myself

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

        Ahh fair enough, I just thought that with Moura likely to come in it may not benefit Kane tbh. Cheers for not being a complete d^&k about what I said though.

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Have you ever watch a Spurs game?

    6. FPLGeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Agree I've been looking at it for a few weeks. Get Alli/Eriksen place holders until Son back

    7. DaniCT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      As long as he has Eriksen and Ali he is ok and will score more

  4. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane with a disappointing 12 point performance. This must be how Salah owners felt earlier in the season

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Feels disappointing because those 12 points came in roughly 25 mins. There was 65 mins of nothingness.

      1. Jon Snow
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Its better than the 6s and 5s but annoying when you know it could have been so much more

  5. SweeSwee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do people saying Kane doesn’t look good actually think he ever looked good?

    He’s always looks terrible, doesn’t stop him bringing in the points.

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think football is the sport for you mate

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He’ll be top points scorer in the game by GW26

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No chance.

        Salah will be miles in front of him IMO.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I think Kane runs him close, Salah will be there or thereabouts

    3. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Watching that as a none owner different feels different some of the opinions on here, I was worried every time he had the ball, his passing and movement looked great and he could easily have got a lot more in this game, bit of a let off.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        One of these teams are going to be on the end of an awful hiding from him soon.

        How many shots did chances did he create in the second half?

        I made it at least 4/5 shots & 2/3 big chances created in 45 mins

        1. FPLGeezer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He won't play Cardiff every weekend either

  6. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    0-3 FT

  7. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    As a non Kane and Son owner, very relieved it stayed 3-0. Esp as Auba nearly blanked today.

    Auba - 9
    Kane - 12
    Son - 13

  8. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Raging about Digne and Richarlison. I benched Rashford and Tarkowski, guaranteed they will score big.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why on earth would you bench Rashford

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Too many good players this week, I had to make a choice. The yellow flag was the deciding factor.

  9. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like it'll be 41 points post baps with 6 including captain to go.

    Badly needed that after the horror show last gw.

    1. Sylas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for the update!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully Pogba fires up.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Martial benching too now Sanchez is available

  10. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is turning Kane into Sslah worth it next week with no hits?

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Probably worth a shot to see how it goes. Am thinking of something similar, but may have to do it with a -4. But Salah right now is looking like the Salah that brought home 300+ points last season.

  11. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Yummy (K)ane baps

  12. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If I'm a hazard capper, I'm not too bothered about what Kane has done here. Truly this year is for the mids

    1. FPLGeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Chilling Hazard capper here

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane you absolute legend

    Leaky Man Utd defence up next, we go again

    Kane (c)

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Carried away there

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ummm, no way. Owner. Stop smoking crack.

    3. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      That's not a bad shout under Solskjaer. Doubt he knows how to park a bus. Predicting a spanking from Spurs. They won't let their foot of the gas like they did today.

  14. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Lloris CS get in

    1. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Its about time

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Huh? Gets one every second game

        1. Midlands Saint73
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          It honestly hasnt felt like that owning him but I checked and you're right.

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'm pretty happy with him. Had Ederson and Ryan who were much much worse.

  15. Galbatron2.0
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Worth taking -4 for
    Alli + Rashford -> Salah + Success

    Current line up:
    Fab/Hamer
    Trippier/AWB/Doherty/Peltier/Robbo
    Hazard/Alli/Rich/Pogba/Snodgrass
    Kane/Jiminez/Rashford

    Not owning Salah has killed me in my mini-league and overall

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jepp. I'd get Kamara though.

      1. Galbatron2.0
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Good point, leaves an extra .2 as well

  16. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So Haz'll need goal and assy to match or better Kane. . .

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Against the worst defence and midfield in the league I think there’s a decent chance

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hat trick incoming 😉

  17. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Last season Kane owners & Spurs fans were cursing Son for his selfishness and poor decision making.
    It's a funny old game Greavsie 🙂

  18. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Has anyone seen Jamie Vardy do that 'Robbie Keane' goal celebration before?

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      That was not like Robbie Keane, was it? He rolled on his back I thought.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He did a double somersault.

    2. Alli 3',17',64�…
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yes a player died doing that celebration I believe, broke his neck

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Based on today who should go to fund Salah

    A Kane
    B Aubameyang
    C Keep both and don’t get Salah

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        fixtures suggest B but not sure I'd sell

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks. So would you say not to get Salah for now?

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 3 months ago

              I'd do B but for gw23

        2. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Neither go in 22.

        5. Brosstan
          • 9 Years

          Still think its Kane.

      • andrinho
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Transfer in:
        Digne for Balbuena
        worth a free transfer?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Stay away from Digne. Hes a trap.

      • Woy_is_back

        • 5 Years

        So whats the scores? 39 from 6 (including baps), pretty sure thats decent. Hazard captain to come

        1. Garlana
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Very decent considering cap to go

        2. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          27 and 8 to play incl Hazz C but im not happy, cause my main rival has 47 from 4.

            Thanks. Kamara and a cheaper option than Rich/Anderson for a 5th mid is your approach to getting them in.

            I am contemplating moving Anderson on, but options lower than him don't look too enticing.

            We have a lot of the same players. Alonso and Rashford downgrades needed to make the Son upgrade for me.

            Unfortunately it's a -8 away.

          I have Auba over Haz if that helps, team linked

          Ings and Kamara combo can do that

            Interesting. I had only considered downgrading Rashford to Kamara. Jimenez to Ings means I can keep my (seemingly more and more overpriced) Alonso.

            Me to but worth it to change to Kane? Auba still overall leader and unlucky not to get 1-2 more goals today

              Exactly my concerns. I'm thinking of a switch after the It's game as they have Fulham coming up

            Cheers. Kamara and Jimmy are your partners to Kane, which is the way I think I am going.

            I'd definitely rather Kane than Auba. Especially when Auba has City and Chelsea in his next 4.

          Have them all except Auba instead of Kane

          Son over Haz 😉

            Thanks, I own Son, and could do Hazard to Salah for free. But Hazard is too good to lose in my opinion. On blistering form and these upcoming fixtures are nice.

            With a current midfield of Haz Pogba Son Rich Anderson, and Son with only United left before Asian cup, I think his spot is the one to get Salah in.

              yeah makes sense, I was looking at Son -> Rich and then our midfielders would be the same

          I see that was meant for me. I looked at your team and it looks interesting. Only the following differences really between our teams:

          Alonso to Lovren
          Son to Salah
          Rashford to Kamara

        Went Pogba captain again this week. Son, Kane and Haz owner. Nervous.

        Anderson > Salah, Kane > Arnie for a -4?
