James Maddison
29-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Maddison's story last season was similar to many other Tottenham players, as he was hampered by injuries. He finished with 16 goal contributions despite playing the fewest minutes he's played in a Premier League campaign, just 1,816. If he can stay fit, he could play a key role in Thomas Frank's system as the creator in the center of the pitch, connecting the defense to the offense. If things go well and he's healthy for 30-plus matches, it wouldn't be surprising if he surpassed 20 goal involvements, similar to his peak at Leicester City.
Listed to bench
Maddison (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
Maddison was still working on his return and was not expected back this week, but is now listed on the bench, giving him a possibility of playing some minutes. That said, after the major injury and setbacks, he is unlikely to see major minutes, probably appearing at the end of the match for a late boost if anything. If the midfielder can get back to the level he was at before the injury, he could be the boost the club needs to end the season and avoid relegation.

Back on sidelines
Maddison (knee) is not ready for play but remains part of the traveling team as motivation, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "No, he's not available yet, especially this week, he felt pain, but it's not such an important problem. Tomorrow he'll come with us to the match, because it's important if he plays or not. It doesn't matter, it's better if he plays, for sure, but also as a guy, as a leader, as a positive guy. Inside my dressing room, I want to see nice people and positive people, and it's also important for his teammates."

Remains sidelined
Maddison (knee) is not yet an option for play, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know [when he will return] yet. I don't want to push too much because we lost Kudus in this way. I used to waiting the players when they are totally available to play... it's better to lose one game more than to take a risk for another new injury.
