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.

  3. Spab

    Tielemans to Yarmalenko was such a typical awful transfer. Yarmalenko has got me 2 points while tielemans has pissed on my barbecue

  4. The Train Driver

    seriosuly guys, Vardy wont get a goal. An assist if he is lucky, its obvious. Dont do that to yourselves, expect nothing

    Fitting that the ref is a Mariner tonight.

    His sailing skills will come in handy in these conditions.

    Vardy has probably had three touches all game and one of them was Vestergaard striking the ball against him.

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

      Like Wilson at Saints a while back.

      Nothing all game, game was over and he scored last touch...

      1. Team Cruel

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    That was the chance.

  10. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    3 goals and nothing from Pereira, Maddison or Vardy. Am I doomed to be trolled forever?

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

      You and me both pal. Atrocious season thus far.

  11. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

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

      Maddison is the better player + on set pieces.

      1. Citizenkane91
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Correction: Tielsemans the.better player CS Madison the set piece taker.

    6 years, 5 months ago

  24. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Perreira not attacking at all and that was the only reason I picked him ahead of Soy...

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same. Chillwell on fire

  25. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    With no Maddison or Vardy this is hard to watch.

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

      Y? They haven't done much.

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

      At least they have not done anything yet Slouch so not all is lost.

      It could turn out to be a great watch if they manage to blank.

  26. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

  27. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Chilwell and barnes are annoying

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

      Chilwell is the best LB in the league according to some pundits.

  28. el polako

    Football can be cruel, poor Saints fans sitting through this weather only to be be served this pile of steaming poo.

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

      Never know, could be a comeback on the cards!

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I feel the red card was harsh, specially that early...

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

      At home, too.
      Honestly think this is our worst perfprmance since promotion. Genuinely believe that.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        In Southamptons defence not too long ago they were horrific at home for a very long time. You must have a nice stat for game lost at home on the trot @ home a season or 2 back
