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.
Available against PSV

December 8, 2025
Cardoso (knee) is back available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Cardoso seems to have fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered during the clash against Barcelona last week since he is back available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven. This is good news for the Colchoneros since he will bring an additional option in the midfield, although he might have limited minutes moving forward as he has been struggling to remain fit this campaign.
