2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cardoso made the summer move to Atletico after a bit of a breakthrough at Betis last season where he made 24 starts as a defensive midfielder. It's a massive step up for the soon-to-be 24-year-old, and he'll undoubtedly face more competition for minutes in the loaded Atletico midfield. Throw in a deep midfield with an already lack of upside, most of Cardoso's fantasy value will come from defensive stats. If he's not guaranteed 90 minutes most games, he'll struggle to be relevant.
Ruled out Saturday
MAtlético Madrid
OUT
December 6, 2025
Cardoso (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Cardoso didn't train on Friday after suffering a knee injury in the last game against Barcelona and couldn't recover in time for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club. The midfield has been struggling with injuries this season since his arrival to the club and will need to spend more time on the sidelines. Veteran and captain Koke is expected to keep his larger role in the midfield for the Colchoneros while he is recovering.
