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.

  3. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Poch always leaves subs so late, like Kane off at 55mins ffs why keep him on all this time.

  4. Canary_Kid
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Holebas Digne or Doherty to TAA?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Holebas out of those.

    2. ZeBestee

      Doh TAA

      Digne, everton are woeful

  5. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years

    boring match.

  6. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My dad and I are having a heated discussion. Ignoring trophies etc who is the better defender VVD or Terry?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Vvd

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        VVD

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry by a mile

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Behave yourself

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VVD

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Purely on capabilities as a player. Terry as a leader was better but Van Dijk has time to grow into that.

        1. BooYaKasha
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          This

    4. WVA

    5. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry. You can't ignore tons of trophies. Sorry

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Of course you can, football is a team game and this is an individual comparison

    6. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Very tough but Terry. Judge VVD at the end of his career

    7. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry coz ypu can't ignore trophies.

    8. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VVD

    9. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You know nothing Jon Snow

    10. derdourily
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VVD

    11. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lovren makes VVD look good.

    12. SUPERMAN
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not seen enough of VVD. I’d say Terry

    13. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Way too soon to compare surely.

    14. MTPockets
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry

    15. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years

      JT

    16. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Best defender: VVD
      Best career: Terry

      1. Sun Jihai

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          agree

    17. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry unquestionably.

    18. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry. Leadership factor and VVD hasnt won anything yet.

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Terry.

    19. banskt
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry. On account of consistency over a decade.

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Terry by a country mile.

    20. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why are you arguing about defenders with Rhaegar Targaryen?

      VVD for me

    21. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      People got short memories. Terry was fantastic. VVD still got much to prove.

      1. Alli 3',17',64�…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I know right, when VVD has won like maybe at least one title of some form then maybe this comparison can be made

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Exactly

      2. Jon Snow
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I did say this, he's a Liverpool fan and doesn't lile Terry

        That chelsea title winning team JT captained literally conceded 15 all season.

    22. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone who says VVD is suffering heavily from recency bias. Terry was consistently one of the top defenders in the world over a decade. What has VVD done? One good year at Liverpool? Even comparing them at this point is lol-worthy.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years

    24. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terry by an absolute mile

  7. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best Midfielder under 5m going forward please?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Brooks ??

    2. Alli 3',17',64�…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Brooks, Camarasa (although he just got injured potentially)

    3. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers, brooks was my thought as well

    4. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kante

    5. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Billing?

    6. Justthis
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They all go backwards sideways and forwards. Not sure i understand your question.

    7. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Camarasa if he isn't too injured

  8. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Seven. (Possibly he sees some game time in FA cup too) because of the league cup game vs Chelsea on the 8th

  11. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Waiting for inevitable cleanie wipe

  12. g40steve

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah he needs 10 days rest.

  13. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why son will be available for Manu match if Asia cup starts on 5th jan? He is captain of South Korea.

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      An agreement between Spurs and the national team.

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs arranged a deal with them so that he could join later.

    3. Ode
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Special permission to go there later

    4. Alli 3',17',64�…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He has special deal to go late, goes after Man U

    5. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs requested South Korea and they accepted

    6. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Poch made a deal with south korea to let him miss first game because he went to the Asian Games

    7. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      negotiations

    8. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yes

  14. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Yesss. Son is off. Could have been much worse today.

  15. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why you always take Son off?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Protect/rest for next match

    2. Ode
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He played 90mins last game

  16. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I have to sacrifice too much to get Salah.

    This -8 makes me wanna spew

    I’d have to get rid of

    Martial Rashford and Alonso

    For

    Salah bamba and kamara

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No f$&#ing way.

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah exactly. It’s why I’m going without Salah.

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No way.

    3. Futile Tinkering
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      😆

    4. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Must be another way, you’re sacrificing too many points by not getting him

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        The other way is removing Kane or Sterling.

        I like Sterling a lot.

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Salah over Kane

        2. Regin
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Remove Sterling

          1. Bobby Crush
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            This.

    5. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You've always been happy without Salah.

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        And this is why !

    6. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

    7. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yuck!

    8. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bamba down!

    9. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Similar thoughts, Salah needed for rest of the season.

    10. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks horrible. Dont do it.

    11. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lolorama

    12. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      i mean it looks bad but it depends on the rest of your plays. If Kamara is your only bench fodder and you have 3 good defenders already then it's fine.

      Still, maybe not for a -8. Would wait 1 week and do it for a -4

  17. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Auba and Holjberg to Salah and Kamara for free? Pools fixtures look better than the gunners short term

    1. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

  18. Jealous Viper
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Not totally happy with Kane here tbvh

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same but he keeps getting points and has the fixtures for more

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      As long as Salah and Haz get roughly a goal or so then no real gain

  19. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Cardiff ruin their cleanie

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

    1. Exeter Gently

      7 years, 6 months ago

      Allison

  22. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Terry is way better than VVD

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Random...

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years

      At what game? It ain't football

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      In the bedroom ?

  23. Ode
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this:

    Sane, Laporte & Rashford -> Salah, Bednarek & Ings -4

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford will punish you.

      1. Ode
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        So no Salah for me then

    2. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
