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.

    Cardiff playing with 10 men now

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane & Son to Salah & Firmino/Arnie (-4)?

    Kane keeps returning, but he doesn't look convincing. A very jammy goal today against a poor Cardiff defence. Salah seems to be able to do it against anyone and be unlucky not to come away with more each week.

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

      No

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

      Im doing it (with Firmino) for free as I have some money ITB. Think I would do it for a hit as well

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

      Historically he hits around 30 goals a season... he’s on 14 now so should be good for another 10-15 in his next 17 games - fixtures are the best in the league

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

        “... fixtures are the best in the league ...”. Ummm, no.

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

    This is some run Kane has strung together.

    Only player in the league with attacking returns in all of his last 10 starts - 9G, 5A, 10 baps in those games...

    MUN, ful, WAT, NEW, LEI, bur next 6...

    Kane/Salah double up looking good

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

      Son matched or bettered, 4 million less 🙂

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

        Yeah and to have spread those funds into the rest of your team means things like Pogba instead of Snodgrass

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

        Son leaving soon so...

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

        Son has also been immense but he unfortunately can’t claim the 10 consecutive starts with attacking returns

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

    Come on Kane just one more goal or assist

  7. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Got rid of son and vardy for haz and Jiménez and benched trippier as thought was not gonna start thought they had Man U this sat and not fa cup

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

      bringing in Hazard isnt bad, but those moves are not good. If you consulted people here and they said make those moves, you got terrible advice

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

        Nothing to with me.

        Lookout it’s captain hindsight ranked at 1million .....

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

          you want me pull up comments telling people all week to keep vardy? And like who cares what my rank is, I played this 9 years. If you think my advice is chit then dont take it

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

            Your rank is entirely relevant if your giving advice

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

              no, if a manager bases his decisions on some random guys comment on the internet then thats his fault. Like you take it into consideration its how much weight you give it, everyones opinion is valid

    2. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Could have been worse.

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I put 2 help requests but no one helped ;(

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

        alot of the time people wont reply, even if you repost a few times. In that case just try get a feel of what people are doing by the general consensus of comments. Like if there is more people trying to bring in Son then take him out, then thats a red flag right away. Everyone makes mistakes, who you bought in isnt bad choices and in the logn run they will work out, you sjut went a week or two early for them.

        Like alot of Vardy owners wanted to ditch afetr Cardiff blank, but why ditch him? I got him in mainly for that but equally his following fixtrues are ok for like 2/3 gws, like vs everton I expected he could get something for sure. Ditching him after one gw is a total waste of two transfers right

    4. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If you thought he wouldn’t start -just play him anyway!

        Lets see how this Gw finishes bro. Im even thinking I can save and try Kola vs WHam (I bought him as a single gameweek punt). But lets see what happens. Goodnight

  11. Dannyb
    • 7 Years

    Sissoko is truly a woeful football player. If you can call him that.

  12. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What would you say Sissoko's strengths are as a player?

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

      his strength

      1. Lucackadoodledoo
        • 6 Years

        Nicely put

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

      He's strong, but he's as agile as bambi on ice.

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

      not a pretty player but breaks things up and actually reads opposition attacks very well.

    4. Fantastisk
