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.

    Kane, Fraser, Sterling ---> Firminho, Salah, Eriksen

    a) yes! do it....
    b) no! you idiot....

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

      B

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

      A but after all the games are finished

    3. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino bit of a waste of a LIV spot imo.

  2. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe expected more but I’ll take that with Auba(c) - by no means a fail.

    Kane Haz Pogba still to go too!

  3. Niho992

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen is perfect replacement for Son for 2 weeks.

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

      Or Pogba?

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

        I have Pogba.

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I will miss my Son ;(

  5. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Why no more goals?

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

    Not hard to see who is playing centre forward in this match is it?

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

    Eriksen ownership only 6%. Could be decent spurs cover if you had to ditch Kane for Salah?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He has a chronic stomach condition. I’m not sure he’s as nailed as he can be

    2. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve done exactly this.

  8. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have

    A. Kane
    B. Salah

    You can’t have both for the purpose of this.

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

      B

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      a

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

    4. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B but why you limit yourself when they are different positions?

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

      Salah after this gameweek

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

      B for sure. Kane is literally playing in midfield.

  9. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    This is what happens when you don't play Lee Peltier

  10. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years

    How this hasn't become a Spurs chant is beyond me

  11. Jet5605

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Son owners keeping for the Utd game?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They will make the same decision as they are very clever people.

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

      for sure, cant ditch Sonny now! All the way

    3. teknicolourfox
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Already shipped on WC

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

      Definitely.

    5. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ask Eazy :p

    6. Chirsbom
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No. Banking the price rise.

    7. Saxe-Gotha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping. He's on fire and Utd aren't exactly keeping a lot of clean sheets.

    8. evilfish
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nope swapping for Salah after this game.

  12. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Son pretty much playing CF now. Kane back in midfield

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thats the way it should be...Kane is a much better playmaker

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

    Come on Alli and Rose. Dive in the box you useless dive merchants.

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Son’s form is insane. Shame I couldn’t fit him in lol.

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

    There is a counter-attack goal here for Spurs - Cardiff still committing players forward.

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

      Started by Kane in cdm

  16. dvdguy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you bring in for Son when he leaves for Asian Cup? Would anyone just bench him til he comes back?

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

      Will he drop in price?

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

        2 pricy to bench, waste of money

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing Son + Kane to Salah + Firmino.
      Benching not a good idea, he will be away for 3-4 matches

  17. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane or auba to salah ?

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Auba

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

      Kane

  18. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who to replace Hart? 5.0 or less

    A - Etheridge
    B - Heaton
    C - Guaita (or is he at risk to Hennessey?)
    D - Other?

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

      Foster

  19. KJT123
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    "i'm not going to get Son because he's going to the Asia Cup soon" is the new "I'm not going to get Diego Costa because he'll get yellow carded soon and get a ban"

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

      This

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Except he is going to the Cup

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        ...and will be "suspended" for a lot more than 1 GW

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wasn't a good reason not to get him.

    3. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I mean it’s a good reason. Transfers are precious. Why guarantee to have to use two when you don’t need too ?

      Obviously in hindsight he’s been a great pick but it’s gonna cost a few people a -4 or two for sure.

  20. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    not owning son has been a disaster...........

  21. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Shame south Korea are going to ruin son

  22. Patch
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Don't know what to feel...only 2 players in today's matches...feeling lost that I can't participate in the joy!

    Hopefully makes for a more interesting mid-week back to work grind

  23. Magic Andrés
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If only Son was South American..

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

      He would be called Soninho?

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nah, he'd have a random name like Clive or Derek in the vain of Fred, Bernard etc.

  24. Alli 3',17',64�…

      Glad I risked it and captained Son!

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      FPL's a mental game sometimes. Was sitting depressed as f*** with ten minutes to go in the Arsenal game with Digne and Richarlison having failed and Aubameyang with it all to do. Now things are rosy again with Son and Kane (c) firing. Looking forward to the next low. 😀

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

        Similar here. Had turds like Mina, Siggy and Mitro. Auba, Kane(c) and Son have saved me.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane sellers, what are your plans for getting him back ? 🙂

      1. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Plans are to in fact not do that and spread all that cash across my midfield

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

        Im getting rid. Useless player.

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wait til next season when he's 10m and re-classified as a midfielder 😉

    7. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Son is that good he's arguably still worth keeping even when he has gone

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

        If your team was absolutely perfect, sure. Most will be selling.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hopefully drops a fair bit, nice bargain for when he's back

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Definitely

    8. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Let's hope Son decided he's retiring from International football with immediate effect in his post match interview 😉
