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.
Back in training

Cardoso (ankle) returned to training and could be an option to face Real Betis on Monday, according to Irene Gomez Diaz of El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Cardoso has missed multiple games with an ankle injury and wasn't an option to face Arsenal in the UCL earlier this week. His return to training suggests he could be an option to face Betis, but even if he does, he'd likely be an option off the bench.
