Johnny Cardoso
24-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
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.
Returns to bench Saturday
Cardoso (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Sevilla.
ANALYSIS
Cardoso has recovered from the ankle injury that sidelined him since late August and is back available for Saturday's clash against Sevilla. The midfielder was named on the bench as he works his way back into the squad. It marks a positive step after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
