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.

    Morrison looks like a massive dicc

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

    Son to Eriksen an option when Son leaves?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Yep

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

        My Missus got rid of Eriksen this morning in order to get Hazard and Salah in. I did advise her against...:lol:

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

          Still could be a good move

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

          And here I am bringing Eriksen in.

    3. Business Cat

      Depends whether Trippier is gonna keep taking corners and penalties off him.

      Alli might be better

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

        *free kicks...not penalties

  3. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Damn Spurs look on it.

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

      Worried as only a son owner

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn’t say so, Cardiff have been a joke defensively. It’s nit the same thing

  4. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mitro look alright today? Thinking he’s coming in for Auba

  5. only2
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How many gws will son miss? Worth it to keep him on the Bench?

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

      No

      1. only2
        • 11 Years

        Ty! Son til Eriksen then

    2. TorresMagic™

      1. only2

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

      Could be as little as one.

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ty!

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, will miss at least 1, likely 2, possibly 3 GWs - he will fall in price so better off cashing in

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks! Very true!

    5. Fpl Richie

      No you will need to sell I'd say

        Thanks!

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

    Damn it Kane, thump in a few more. Can't have another 6 pointer.

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

      70 minutes left.

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

    Kane has returns in his last 10 matches he started
    Son has returs in his last 9 matches he started.

    WoW !!

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

      Yeah. Salah sux

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      5 pointers

  8. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Odds on Hazard getting returns in addition to Kane and Auba? Own all three but captained Haz...

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      110%

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

      High

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

      Well Kane and Auba have returned so it’s all on hazard.

      Hazard could get a CS point so might return with a 3

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Y having those 2 bother haz

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

    Son needs to nip off at half time to reunite North and South Korea, then back for a second-half brace

  10. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling + Rashford out for Salah + Kamara

    With my 2fts?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes after GW ends

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

    Brought Eriksen in on WC as I was dropping Kane. Could do with another!

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

    Would u keep Son for that final United game?

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

      50/50

    2. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure, many things could happen this gw and in FA Cup..

    3. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think so

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

      Absolutely

      United are poor at the back and Son in scintillating form

      No brainer imo

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Need to work out who I'm going to switch him for
      Spurs will probably score against Man Utd so may keep

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

      probably yeah

  13. mattk lfc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Boy am I glad Son is leaving for internationals as a non owner

  14. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Everyone’s creaming themselves when Son gets an assist...

    It’s 3 points and he’ll be brought off early

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

      Will he?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hope so

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

      How do you delete comments?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        lol

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

    Need some more from Kane please. One hazard goal outscores everthing

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

    Everyone asking another Kane goal but the more important thing is to not pick up a YC 😛

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

    Us Hazard captainers spewing here

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

      Why?

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

        All the other Captain options scoring

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

          And? May not do as well as Haz

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

          Yep. He really needs to deliver this week.

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

      He's getting a brace anyway

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

      not yet numbo

    4. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      This Hazard captainer also has Kane and Son so not complaining

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Got Kane and Auba too - but picking the right one was tough. We'll see.

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

        Same. Haz has more assist potential, gets a extra point more for scoring and a clean sheet point too

  18. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane dropping to CDM

    1. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Dropping further back than that hairline ey?

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

    Kane looking way too deep. Need to get rid of him.

    1. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Receding further back than his hairline

      1. Where has all the rum gone?
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hahahah!!

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

    Spurs fixtures are insanely good.

    Set and forget captain in Kane

    Another reason to avoid Salah 😉

    1. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Would agree if kane is used as an out and out target man. But apparently he is not. Once son is off to the asian games alli has got to step up, doesnt look like alli has the juice.

  21. Weilong7

    taa rising tonight? fplfix says tomorrow while fplstatistics say tonight.. :\

    1. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      10 days til next deadline and alot can happen with most playing two more games..
      Kneejerkers are asking for trouble.

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

    Is there anything better than a few beers watching the football while reading the banter on FFS?

  23. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sold Son for Pogba, pooping myself!

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

      Both will do well imo.

  24. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane wont get one more.. don't worry guys. Hazard will smash it tomorrow.

  25. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Seems like everyone captained Hazard.. is Southampton really that good of fixture?

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

      Yes, very

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely.

  26. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Why did everyone who jumped on the Digne bandwagon completely ignore Everton's shockingly bad defensive stats?

    Clean sheets are the bread and butter of any defender.

    1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      chance machine.

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

      Everyone?

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

      Had Digne for weeks and he’s been fine ? What’s the issue ?

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

      Some of us who went for Mina have suffered the most.

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

      High ownership fear.

    6. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      On corners & FKs, can cross properly

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

      I was saying this yesterday, we have unpopular opionions apparently.

    8. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Because Digne has gotten hauls and in each game, Everton conceded

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

      I got caught up in the expecting worldy free kicks every week

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

      Very few teams are keeping clean sheets apart from Liverpool, he's a well priced attacking defender

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

        He had 17 points in one game just the other day. He cost me 4.8 or 4.9 million. Case closed.

    11. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lol@you

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

      he's pretty attacking, similar to Holebas - both pretty decent picks at the price

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

        good chance of 6 points either way, with the occasional haul

    13. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      28 Dec 23:19 Digne Doherty GW20

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lollllllllllllll

    14. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Probably will keep for now and ship to Pereira in 5GWs

    15. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly any teams beyond Liverpool are reliable CS machines tbh - e.g. look at City, Arsenal or Utd
      Digne has the most chances created by far of any defender in FPL this season so people who bought him early on for assist potential have done ok
      People who jumped on the bandwagon after his two goals were silly though and have been punished

    16. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone jumped on him a month ago for assists as well and they’ve got lucky with free kick goals that he wasn’t known to be on.

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

      ...you transferred him in GW20 after his 17pt haul...you are one who jumped on the bandwagon, why didn't you check the stats?

      For someone that's owned him for over a month, the assists and superb FKs are great when they come off 🙂

      Digne's no worse than Doherty...he's also attacking returns first, not too much CS potential.

      I see you actually swapped Doherty -> Digne, which is pretty sideways

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

    Has there been a GW when Son was picked in the Scout Picks? Cant remember.

  28. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Please help me bring in Salah:

    Patricio Ryan
    Alonso Digne AWB Bennet Bednarek
    Hazard Pogba Anderson Richarlison Son
    Kane Rashford Jimmy

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

      £1.5m itb little to no value tied up in anyone.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      only two simple options:

      Haz, Alonso for Salah, Luiz
      Kane, Anderson for Jiminez, Salah

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        actually

        Kane , Son for Jiminez, Salah

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

          He has Jiménez

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

      Alonso is overpriced - downgrade him , if you really want chelsea defense swap him for Luiz and save 1.0m

      Think the Rashford and Pogba double up is unnecessary until we see if Rashford keeps his place long term - drop him for someone like Ings for a further 1.6m

      Then you’ll have to either swap Kane for Aguero/Aubameyang or else downgrade Richarlison to make it fit

  29. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Robbo Son to TAA Salah for free?

    Have also Alonso but want him for next week and also I probably should keep Auba?

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

    Spurs must have the poorest repertoire of songs going!
