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.

      With no Free Hit, any transfers I make will be to the teams with a fixture in 36. Everton, Villa, maybe Zaha.

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Fofana owners rejoice!

    2. FPL Alaska

      Seriously. Why was he taken off at half anyways?

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        3CBs v 10 men not needed and he's fasting so was the one to go off.

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    There's a chance West Ham to go to the UCL. That would be lovely

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Of course 10 man Southampton are beating Leicester.

    Was so happy with three Leicester this GW.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I predicted 1 - 0 Saints!

    3. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      What?

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Idiot confirmed

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Try and be nice to people matey.

  16. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Bit of justice that.

  17. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Dodgy red for Southampton the worst thing that could happen. Made Leicester revert back to their home form

  18. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Nacho even when he doesnt score still helps our FPL 😀

  19. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I was worried VAR incompetence would strike again there. Stonewall.

    That said, I don’t like hand balls like that where it’s a skied shot and no advantage gained by the handball. Just feels wrong

  20. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Castagne haul cancelled it seems

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Delayed until DGW I hope 🙂

  21. Wee Jinky
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    No way was that a penalty! The game is a joke

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I know right He only caught the ball. Ridiculous decision!

      1. Wee Jinky
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        The ball hit against his arm at speed. There was no intent to touch the ball with his arm or hands

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      If someone was sent off for breaking a leg there would still be people protesting the decision. Your the joke

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      That's about as clear and obvious as it gets

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yes. Nacho did not hold the ball for more than the stipulated 3 seconds!

    5. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      CAstagne owner spotted

  22. Dirty_Harry
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    That goal hurts my Castagne differential 🙁

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Same

  23. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I broke Nacho, sorry everyone

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      😉

  24. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Nacho owner but hoping Soton CS so that McCarthy keeps his place and I have 2 GKs for the DGWBB 👿

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Has Hassenhuttl at any point explained what the hell he's doing with his keeper rotation?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        No explanation

        I suspect he gave Forster some game time because he was the FA Cup keeper. Now that Saints is out of the cup, hopefully McCarthy is the no.1

  25. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    With onky Nacho playing deciding last minute against bringing in Fofa, this is going pretty well so far

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I wisely left Fofana on the bench. And then Rudiger happened.

  26. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Nacho broken by us who finally bought him

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years

      Good timing mate

  27. Jimmers

    Maddison struggling with injury and with form

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

      No way he's going to the Euros.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Struggling with being called a footballer!

  28. _Ninja_
