Leicester City are unchanged as they travel to Southampton for Gameweek 34’s Friday-night opener.

That means James Maddison (£7.3m) retains his starting berth for the third Premier League match in a row since returning from injury.

While we do not have the benefit of the clubs’ official team reveals for Gameweek 34, the midfielder is likely to operate in the number 10 role behind Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) tonight.

A lot of eyes will be on the later at St. Mary’s Stadium considering he lost approximately 90,000 owners for Gameweek 34, with Harry Kane (£11.8m) returning from his ankle problem ahead of facing Sheffield United.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) form the central-midfield pairing tonight with Luke Thomas (£4.1m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) operating as wing-backs once again.

Wesley Fofana (£5.0m), Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Jonny Evans (£5.6m) are the back-three.

Danny Ings (£8.4m) is absent for Southampton while Alex McCarthy (£4.4m) has managed to hold onto his starting berth from the 2-1 defeat to Spurs.

Fraser Forster (£4.0m) is on the bench for the second Gameweek in a row.

Nathan Tella (£4.3m) and Che Adams (£5.7m) lead Saints’ attack with Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) either side of Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) and James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m).

With no updates on social media this weekend, we will bring you live updates on all goals and assists from Southampton, which you can follow below.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Vestergaard, Stephens, Bednarek, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond, Minamino, Tella, Adams.

    What a journey this has been, but it feels good to be back

    Will be astonished if Nacho gets anything tonight. I've just brought him in.

      Oh God!

  3. El Presidente
    • 6 Years

    This keeper rotation with Forster went well....

  4. Slitherene
    • 8 Years

    BB week! 1 FT, 1.5 ITB

    Sanchez | Areola
    TAA Shaw Lowton
    Salah Son Lingard Saka
    Kane Vardy Iheanacho
    ¦ Pereira Coady Phillips*

    Suggestions appreciated!

    Everton seems the only decent DGW team as they play SHU week after and have nothing to play for really.

    Villa possibly also.

    For people with no FH or WC

  6. g40steve

    Game on.

  7. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    FH draft:

    Martinez
    Shaw Digne Castagne
    Fernandes Madison Auba? Rodrigues
    Vardy Nacho DCL

    Leaves 20m for the bench

    1. DickFranDyke

      4 Leicester players.Nice.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Maybe Nacho is code for Jimenez?

      2. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Argh nips. Maybe Cavani punt over Vardy

        1. Alcapaul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Doubt Cavani plays both. Maybe Zaha instead of Maddison.

  8. richarlison2348

    9-0 what we saying?

    1. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Not today

  9. thevaineman
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    For double gw 35,

    Pogba or Siggurdson?
    Lacazette or Che Adams?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      They could all be crocked by then, chill and watch the games.

  10. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    When's kick off?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Live now, 8pm

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I know. It was a reference to the large kick off sign above.

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Every 10 minutes hopefully 🙂

      1. djman102
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        That's the goal...

  11. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Walker peters G off

  12. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Will there be another double game week other than 35?

    1. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Don't think so

  13. Spg76

    4 years, 12 months ago

    My dad’s a lifelong Leicester fan. He reckons Ndidi is the main man in that team. I listen to most games on radio these days. Not for fantasy obviously not a point scorer but how good is this guy?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      He’s like Kanye with one leg. Irrelevant to FPL

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        *Kante. Autocorrect obviously prefers crap music to football

      2. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I get that. Just wondering. I had Tielemans early on in season for 3 or 4 games. Probably my worst signing this season.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Very important for the team, one of the best defensive midfielders in the league when on form.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Your dad is a shrewd man. Ndidi is a player who one or two of the big boys would like. They can't have him. Yet.

  14. richarlison2348
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Fofana dream almost over before it began

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Leicester with the high line again. Will probably concede again.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Hopefully

  16. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Was sure I had captained Son, but it seems to be on Kane, which is absolutely fine, but definitely need to pay more attention

    Memories coming back of the last time this fixture was played on a Friday night back in 2019
    The night I made my first newbie post saying that I had bought in Ings who at that time was in decent form something like 3 in his last 5 but very much under the radar . Sadly it didn't happen for him that night (9-0 to Leicester) or for the next couple of game weeks . But soon after that he exploded & was on everyone's shopping list .Any other memories from that night ?

  18. Collie01

    Leicester looking shaky at the back.

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    How many times will the 9-0 be mentioned by Sky then?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Between 9 and 0 times

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      That's 3 times already now

    3. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      It can never ever be mentioned too many times as far as I am concerned.

  20. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Vardy Kane Nacho frontline
    Let's go big boys!

  21. tiger

    Red Vestergaard

  23. Collie01

  25. OPTA FPL

    9-0

  26. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Vardy better not be injured here

  27. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Another 9-0 could be on here yet again.

  28. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    If only my armband wasn't on Vardy until 20min before deadline. Changed to Nacho

  29. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    go go Nacho (C)

  30. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Probably shouldn't have been a RC, he got the ball first.
