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.

    Vardy very close to two BAPS

    1. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell will get 3 more baps after the game for the winning goal.

    1. Lev Yashin

    My only Leicester asset is Soy who's firmly on my bench. Absolutely loving this though, Pompey fan.

  8. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    I was deciding between a Maddison Vardy double up or getting Mane, and I chose the latter 🙁

    GW 8: Do I get Vardy on WC? No, lets keep Pukki, he's got Villa at home, and save some itb to get Vardy after Liverpool.
    GW9: Ok, forget Vardy, I'm getting Wilson in, he's going to trash poor Norich
    GW10: I'm goint to save FT.

    🙁

      KDB going up 0.1 Sun night stopped me doing Pukki>Vardy albeit it would have been for a hit. Small margins
