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.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      They don’t look at it for anything.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years

      • 16 Years

      Racist

    8. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Well, might want to consult VAR on that.

    9. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Reported

    10. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Don't worry they can use VAR for mistaken identity

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    That red is what you need when you have no Leiscter players and your rival has 3.

    1. Tempestic
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ikr, great isn't it... :/

  16. Scapegoat Salah

  17. SkeletONv01

      Give it Vardy

  19. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes looks really good.

  20. Poseidon.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    2-0

  21. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Tilli Mans goal

  22. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    No argument that’s a red. What’s annoying is who looks at these? Tielemans did worse than that against Bournemouth, VAR looked at it and didn’t even book him. Then Tielemans gets assist for Vardy goal. If the same people aren’t on VAR panel all season then it won’t be fair

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed it is the inconsistency that really frustrates people

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    As a Vardy, Maddison & Pereira, I am not yet content...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Oh come on.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not even half time yet lol

  24. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Well done VAR, but it was right in front of the ref so why didn't he just issue the red himself? Refs on the field making themselves redundant.

  25. RealVirg
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Blow it up ref, seen enuf. I need to get home to rebekah

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
