  • Postecoglou shares Maddison injury update as Tottenham star absent v Leicester


    Ange Postecoglou has provided an injury update on Tottenham midfielder James Maddison.

    Spurs are set to host Leicester City in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (26 January), with Paul Merson sharing a Postecoglou sack claim ahead of the clash.

    Maddison has missed out on the Tottenham squad entirely, and Postecoglou has provided some clarity on why the midfielder isn’t available to face his former side.

    The Spurs boss said, [via Alasdair Gold on X, 26 January], “He’s [Maddison] still a bit sore from the other night. It took a fair bit out of the group and he just wasn’t 100% so he misses out today.

    “No no [nothing too serious]. We hope not. Hopefully should be alright for next week.”

    James Maddison misses out for Tottenham v Leicester City

    Maddison will no doubt be gutted to miss out on the opportunity to play against his former club.

    The Englishman was in fine form as Spurs recorded a 3-2 UEFA Europa League win over Hoffenheim at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Thursday (23 January), and his quality will certainly be missed on Sunday.

    In addition, players often come to life against their former clubs. Therefore, having Maddison in the squad against Leicester would have been very useful as Spurs go in search of a much-needed win.

    However, supporters will at least be relieved to learn that the injury is nothing serious, as there would have been much confusion before Postecoglou provided some clarity.

    Overall, the North London side should have more than enough to beat the Foxes, even without Maddison.

  • FPL tips and team of gameweek 19: Salah, Isak, Diaz and Maddison all make the cut

    FPL tips and team of gameweek 19: Salah, Isak, Diaz and Maddison all make the cut


    Mohamed Salah, Liverpool, £13.5m – away at West Ham

    Even in a “quietish” game on Boxing Day, Salah still got nine points.

    It’s hard to see a week in the near future where you wouldn’t captain him too.

    Luis Diaz, Liverpool, £7.5m – away at West Ham

    Diaz is a risky, mega-high upside pick. He rarely starts back-to-back games but, with four double-digit returns (13,14,15 and 16 points) in 11 starts, the potential is huge.

    He was rested against Leicester, so should play at the Hammers and Liverpool have scored two or more goals in each of their past 10 games. Salah can’t hog all the points!

    Ismaila Sarr, Crystal Palace, £5.8m – home to Southampton

    No midfielder has more big chances than the Senegal international in the past four gameweeks.

    He has become a consistent statistical performer – three shots per game in that period, 10 in the box, seven on target…

    With those kind of numbers – and playing against the worst team in the league – there’s a great chance of some sort of return.

    James Maddison, Tottenham, £7.7m – home to Wolves

    Despite their two recent wins, Wolves at home is still a plum FPL match-up – especially for a high-scoring team like Spurs.

    It can feel like pot luck choosing a Tottenham midfield asset – they all have their merits – but Maddison is the top points scorer and always highly involved [when he plays].

    The England man has been involved in 33% of Tottenham’s goals when he is on the pitch and they could score three or more against Wolves.

    Cole Palmer (vice captain), Chelsea, £11.3m – away at Ipswich

    With Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka out for a while, it feels like most teams will have Salah and Palmer.

    The Chelsea talisman is on course to finish with around 300 points this season and he’d be the most important player in the game if Salah wasn’t about.

    Could you captain him this week? If you’re the gambling type then why not. He outscored Salah last gameweek – by a point!



    Are you ready for another exciting round of Fantasy Premier League action? Gameweek 19 is just around the corner and we’ve got some top tips and a winning team lineup to help you climb up the ranks.

    First up, Mohamed Salah is a must-have in your team. The Liverpool forward has been in sensational form this season, consistently delivering points for FPL managers. With a favourable fixture against Newcastle United, Salah is a great captaincy choice for gameweek 19.

    Next, Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak is a budget-friendly option for your forward line. The Swedish striker has been in fine form in La Liga and has a favourable matchup against Osasuna this week.

    In defense, Joao Cancelo’s Manchester City teammate, Ruben Dias, is a solid pick. The Portuguese center-back has been a rock at the back for City and has the potential to rack up points through clean sheets and bonus points.

    Lastly, Leicester City’s James Maddison is a sneaky midfield option for gameweek 19. The English playmaker has been in good form recently and has the ability to score goals and provide assists for the Foxes.

    Without further ado, here’s our team of gameweek 19:

    Goalkeeper: Ederson (Manchester City)
    Defenders: Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Andrew Robertson (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea)
    Midfielders: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester City), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
    Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

    Good luck with your FPL team for gameweek 19 and may your players deliver plenty of points!
