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.

      Doubt it

  23. el polako

    This is more fun than I expected.
    Leicester plays better in 2nd half....

  24. moz_1983
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I kept Perez for the whole season up until about 4pm today. FML

  25. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Perez (Tielamens) At least I have Tielamens in my fan team team.

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    But but Leicester’s stats are bad therefore they are to be avoided

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      But you have Vardy and Maddison

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I certainly do 😉

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      How many points do Vardy and Maddison have for you? 😆

      Vardy particularly overpriced. Leicester playing with 10 men as well

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy’s one goal off being the top scoring striker though? And he’s already delivered on his transfer in after our little discussion last week, remember? 😉

        Maddison... jury’s out, I’m not a HUGE fan but he has a lot going for him - not going to beat a 7.2 mid with the stick of not delivering attacking returns in his one game so far in my team, eh 😉

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          He also has a 40% shot conversion which we both know is unsustainable. 5 touches so far in this match in a 3-0 route. Not great for his xGi. I’m liking Martial over Maddison at this rate.. he is lying far too deep

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Eyeing up Martial myself - either him or CHO in a 3-5-2 over Wilson is an interesting possibility

            Make no mistake - Vardy is a phenomenal FPL asset. Has been since rodge took the reigns

            Also remember that Goal conversion is the output of an equation that has both a numerator and a denominator - something tells me you are assuming one of those elements is fixed when in reality they are both variable 😉

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        38 in 2 GW’s at current count if my maths is correct

        28 points today
        And a nice 10 points last week

        How many have they got for you?

        😉

  27. Lev Yashin
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Nearly C'd Vardy too.

  28. Planet Jo
    • 13 Years

    Who persuaded me to play Tomorrow over Soy?? Grrrr....

  29. GENERATION X

    Forecast was right a large shower of sh1te on the South coast from 8pm

  30. SAY MY NAME
