Southampton and Leicester unchanged for Gameweek 10 opener

Both Southampton and Leicester have named unchanged sides for their Friday night clash at St. Mary’s Stadium.

That will be welcoming news for those in possession of Jamie Vardy (£9.1m), James Maddison (£7.2m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), the three most popular players in the first game of Gameweek 10.

It is the midfield option who will have the most attention from Fantasy Premier League managers, currently sat in 14.3% of squads.

Pereira is owned by 11.7% and while 11.5% are hoping from more attacking returns from Vardy.

Leicester remain without a clean sheet away from home this season so Fantasy managers are probably more expectant about Fantasy points at the other end of the pitch tonight.

That said, Vardy has scored in just one away match in 2019/20.

Gameweek 10 could see some improvement from Leicester’s attacking prospects on the road though, considering Southampton’s leaky defence at home this season.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side has conceded 10 goals across their four matches in front of their own fans since Gameweek 1, an average of 2.5 per game.

The Saints’ boss has stuck with the same defence as last time out though, lining them up in a back-three with wing-backs.

Maya Yoshida (£4.4m), Jannik Vestergaard (£5.2m) and Jan Bednarek (£4.5m) anchor the side with Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m) and Yan Valery (£4.8m) on the flanks.

Up-front is a man who has been capturing plenty of attention recently in Danny Ings (£5.9m).

He has started the last three Gameweeks, scoring in each of them, and may enjoy playing against this Leicester defence as they still chase their first away clean sheet of the campaign.

Southampton XI (5-3-2): Gunn; Bertrand, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Valery; Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Romeu; Redmond; Ings.

Leicester XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Pérez, Maddison, Tielemans, H Barnes; Vardy.

    Maddison to Tielemans looking pretty simple at this stage.

    Tempted to hop back on the Perez bandwagon but that hurt early season

      I may follow your path

      I think its time to forgive Perez.

      1. SpoonPants
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Convinced by scoring against Southampton on a red card, eh?

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just Tielemans no Perez

      He’s the best pick from those 3

  7. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    The linesman who had a front seat view of the Bertrand tackle from about 2 unobstructed yards never flagged. Are they leaving the big calls to VAR now?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It was strange, he was so close and clear view.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Might just be a one off, also the match has become so one sided with the correct decision

      • FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting question

      • Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Linesmen never flag they always wait for others to make a decision.

        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, same with offsides, they give the goal unless its painfully clear.

        VAR checks everything

      • Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think red card was harsh.

      Maddison unlucky not to return so far? Anyone watching

        He has hardly been involved IMO. Similar to Vardy, but Vardy was clinical with the one opportunity he got.

                  He missed two and got an OG I think

                    He did the hattrick didn't he?

                    OG, penalty miss and a red card for -5 overall I think

            2. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Walters two OGs and a pen miss, I think.

              Another Leicester goal for Bertrand.

            They don't deserve to be in the premier league. Shameful performance

          If you were Rodgers would you protect your main striker and give him an early bath with 3 points in the bag?

            Nope - he's a work horse. He wants to play every minute.

          I’m happy with Gunn’s save point.

          At least get one goal Maddison...

          If nothing, surely gotta sell for Tielemans or CHO or someone. Number 10 getting nothing in a rout?!

          Leicester look up for more goals

          The biggest surprise is that there are still fans in the stadium. Why don't they go home and drink or sleep?

          Surely Gray and Albrighton will be on soon.
