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.

    Wasn't it Trippier who crossed the ball for Kane's goal?!!

      Yeah, defender killed the assist.

        That is not the problem. The problem is that they gave it to Son!! 😀

          Not for long.

    Is this an FPL typo, or is Son really on 2 x Assists?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Typo

  3. french holiday

    Everybody loves Son. Even FPL.

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

    Surely one of Son's assists will be removed?

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

      Has to be...He didn't assist Kane's goal it was Trippier if it has to be given

  5. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    Think I might of started knocking the goals in, if it were a choice between a EPL footballers life of luxury, and sentry duty on the 38th parallel. 🙂

  6. BenDavies

    Son given an extra 3 points as a late Christmas present. 'Tis the season of giving after all.

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Not getting Son because he was going away after a few weeks has killed me...

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

      It hasn't, worth getting when he's returned but not now

  8. FPL Daniel

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane owners you should consider yourself lucky that goal was a fluke, however Salah got 2 completely wrong penalties so conclusion is this game is luck

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

      Of course, FPL is a luck management game after all

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't see Salah's 1st pen but the one vs Arsenal was 100% a penalty.

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

        The 1st one was a blatant dive. One of the worst Ive seen this season.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, I would stop playing if I were you.

      Always has been about luck management.

      You sound unlucky.

  9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Son is so good he even got an assist that no one saw 🙂

    Wonder does that mean they consider it an assist now? If so - Trippier looking good

    Kane making me almost regret my hazard (c)

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Was just too worried about fatigue/rotation with Spurs...

      1. Chi not God
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Luckily I have him, at least I don't lose out completely

  11. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Did Hazard scored this season with Morata on the field in the league ?
    Morata will start tomorrow surely. OMG for Hazzo C along with me

  12. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I tried to tell you Hazard captainers to captain Kane, i tired hard, even used caps lock.

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard hasn't even played yet

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You should have suggested Son

    3. bigwig
      • 13 Years

      Do you have a crystal ball?

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait until Hazard has played. Just copy and save this post and bin it after Hazard's 21 point haul. 😀

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

    He’s been given the assist on Kane’s goal. Weird.

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I thought Mark didn't have Son?!

  15. Romford Pele - Don't w…

    Does Trent Alexander-Arnold rise in price tonight?

  16. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Typical if Son loses an assist and Auba keeps his.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He won't. It is in the rules. And If Auba is the one who shouted it's his assist too

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Thanks mark for the extra son assist

    Much appreciated

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

      This

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

      be removed soon

  18. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Surely one of the Son assists will be removed (unfortunately...)

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

      Once given cannot be removed. #FPLRule

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

        New rule?

  19. THFC4LIFE

    What was the LMS safety score for gw20?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Won’t load on my phone

  20. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Love that i got one more Son assist from nowhere 😉

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      How come from nowhere? It was splendid pass

    2. lespaul
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I own son and expected just 1 as well

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Next year they should reclassify Son and Kane. Son a striker and Kane a midfielder. Salah also a striker

  22. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Are they gonna fix that son assist thing?

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

      No.. it is a gift 😉

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

      Its a gift from the FPL towers. Drink it in mannn..

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

    LOL. That's so getting removed...

  24. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Happy phantom assist day

  25. klipp klopp
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    son has assist x2??????????????????

  26. Football Rambler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do Son > Salah this week or next?

  27. TOBY1
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So happy with son captain choice and having Kane as well

  28. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    They've given Son the assist for his own goal maybe

  29. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    That rebound pinball effort in the box between Kane, Dele and the Cardiff defence delivers Son an assist?

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

      Enjoy it while it lasts...

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

      So on that replay:
      - Trippier crosses it
      - Hits Cardiff defender
      - Alli is running around...ball doesn't touch him...Son nowhere near
      - Rebound off defender hits Kane
      - Rebound comes back to the Cardiff defender, he clears it
      - The clearance hits Kane and bounces into the net

      ...so clearly a Son assist 😎

    Are people holding on to Kane going forward? My plan was to get rid for Salah and shift funds, but it's difficult following games like this...
