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.

            Just sold Söy because of fixtures, no juicy home games in a while.

    5. Sir Edo

      I did Ota/Söyu to Mendy/Webster. 🙂

      What about the professionals too, what did they do for this GW?

      1. Team Cruel

        They are called pro pundits. Show some respect mate

    8. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      so..if someone posts their transfers in this thread, they are self-identifying as elite, right?

  3. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    So close to removing Aguero and son for a -4 hit .. but decided against it. This is how i feel the rotation will pan out.

    Aston Villa - Aguero
    Southampton cup - Jesus
    Southampton - Aguero
    Atalanta - Aguero
    Liverpool - Jesus

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So... Err... Jesus vs Liverpool? O.o

      Possible, but bold

      1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He will use the same high press Manchester united used. Aguero cant do that.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think Aguero starts against both Liverpool and Chelsea.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool - Jesus and Aguero

  4. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    At first I thought Jimenez GK was a mistake.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No proof yet 🙂

    2. Revival

      Me too, thought it was meant to be Pope when I saw a claret and blue background

  5. Rainer

    A filthy casual in a work league sold Sterling for KDB after the Palace game, only to get Sterling back in after the Atalanta game 😆 😆

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      What would he do after Raz is Benched this gw 😀

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        😮

        Google ‘How do I delete my FPL team’

      It’ll prob pay off this time

  6. Monkey Pits
    • 12 Years

    Rolling out a team of:

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Tomori
    Dilva KDB sterling (c) Mount
    Firmino Wilson Abraham

    0.7 ITB

    How’s it looking this game week?

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      TAA, Dilva, Sterling, Mount all at risk of not playing for me.

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        TAA fit to play

  7. aguerodontblankonme
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If u take -36 point hit, does this hit won’t count in months tally?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Correct.

      For some stupid reason, hits down count in the 1st GW on a monthly league.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you're struggling to beat someone who took a -36 it might be best to just move on from fpl

      1. aguerodontblankonme
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm. We have mini leage, where month winner gets some money, so yeah it’s kind of pointless now.. Can’t win monthly when someone takes that kind of hits every gw and they don’t count.

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Soy going to be the hot sauce rating of 2.

    Unfortunately that ain't enough.

    Sterling Captain https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/358170/history
    Let’s hope I am right!!!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Awesome ranks. Where have you been hiding all this time?!

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years

        Cheers Cruel, not sure if this is banter but regardless bricking it for Sterling being benched!! Got to take risks!

  10. TLF

    Took first hit of the season, Pukki & Zinch to Kun & Prodl. Good luck all.

    Henderson
    Trent, Lundy, Soyuncu

    Let’s go Maddo & Vardy

    The two James’ in tandem 🙂

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Can they do it on a rainy Friday night in Southampton ?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Red Nev & Kelly Cates reckon the conditions will lead to mistakes from GK’s & Def’s & will generate more goals as a result

        I approve of this hypothesis 🙂

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Pitch seems soaked, they might be onto something.

  12. el polako

    Perez to boost all ghost ship teams.

    1. The Ejiptian King

        I had him.

    I know it is abit early but I'm rolling out the exact same team gwk11

    Pope
    TAA Tomori Chambers
    Salah KDB Mount Yarmolenko
    Aubameyang(c) Vardy Abraham

    Button Soyuncu Cantwell Hanley

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      What you think of Auba’s captaincy banker returns so far?

      BUR 6
      AVL 5
      BOU 2

      ???

      1. Dynamic Duos

        That it will get better 🙂

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          It can’t really get any worse tbf 😉

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years

            Still glad i got rid if him

            • 10 Years

            Just a good job he wasn't my (c) for any of them lol

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah or KDB for (c) next week over Auba

  14. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Very odd moves from Mark. Used 2ft to get rid of Otamendi and Digne for Cancelo and Mendy. He'd better hope there are no Grealish stunners tomorrow.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Cue 3 assists for Mendy and a double City cleanie for Mark

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Don't forget the Cancelo goal

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looks a good gamble.

      Two massive differentials vs a player in a struggling team and a player who mightn’t play.

    3. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good moves imo

      1. Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Time will tell.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mark finishing consistently high in FPL isn't luck, he takes chances others don't and reads the game better than many, I don't see them as odd, punty with big potential and a bench to cover should either miss out. Many couldn't do it as they already had at least 2 City on board. Could end up being shrewd moves.

      1. Kalou
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Quite confident Sterling+Kdb+Ota outscores them

    5. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would be hilarious if Walker and Angelino start tomorrow

    6. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I did Digne to Mendy. Quit while you’re ahead with Digne and get in early on Mendy

  15. RealVirg

    Just back from 4 day Butlin holiday

    Forgot Fri early night kickoff...but...

    Checked the app and it says 15 hours 28 mins till deadline...eh???

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The app is awful.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      the app is a waste of time, just use the website

  16. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Can anybody see what ownership Mendy is in the top 10k? I can’t believe he’s at 0.9% now we know he’s fit. Had half a mind to captain him this week but played safe with KDB

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      His knee could explode at a moments notice

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah and so could his assists. If he’s fit he’s essential. And looks like still a big differential, definite starter and at home to villa

    2. Ragabolly

      2.6% in top10k

  18. Wild Rover

    First minute and already the ball is not rolling properly in places because of surface water. Could genuinely become a problem if it keeps up.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Could be good for cheeky slow goals

    1. Bruce Lee

      He is sitting on a clean sheet right as we speak mate, he is currently doing better than TAA this gw

      1. FOO FIGHTER

    2. Rainer

      Decent reverse jinx.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Don’t own him myself but a nailed Leics defender with a bit of attacking threat for 4.5m is hardly a gamble

      Especially with sushi, yes.

  20. The Ejiptian King

    I'm getting regular defensive benching headaches with Lund and Rico being such good options, the former especially, might just move Soy to Reid.

    oh my, next week such a defensive benching headache especially if Kelly is fit.

    I haven't had a problem this big for my bus team since I don't remember when.
