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.

Gameweek 34 Line-ups

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

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Didn't captain Nacho. Am guessing that's detrimental to rank then....

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Negative

      Who goes for Zaha DGW punt?

      Midfield is:

    3. FPL Pillars

      Twitter is toxic

  11. Duke Silver ☑

    Maddison just shooting from stupid positions.

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison thinks he’s Beckham

  12. Dirty_Harry
    • 16 Years

    Come on Castagne, a return now would be bliss

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Really feel for anyone who did the Kane to Vardy swap after the fluke Vardy haul and didn't reverse it

    1. Guba
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair, there's still the dgw to come which was probably a factor in their decision to not reverse it. Yet to be seen!

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha yep story of my season. Gambles not paying off

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd hardly call Vardy a flukey player. Maybe gone off the boil, a bit.

  15. MightyGar
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho (C) in my bus team for next week. Will I hold my nerve?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bus team usually is the right call

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      With Bruno at risk of being rested for one of the two games Nacho is the stand out captain for the DGW

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The Iheanacho assist moved me up 41 places lol (~80k rank)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who would have thought with so many Castagne and Vardy owners

  17. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I will take that from nacho

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Poor ball handle by Che

  19. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy wtf man?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks to me that he might be carrying an injury

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He got ankle-knacked in the alleged red card incident

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That's Beneteke in disguise.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm lining up Vardy to Benteke next week tbh

        1. MightyGar
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I have Benteke on the bench waiting for the double (needed to burn a transfer). It is that kind of season

  20. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy needs to retire

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Been on the down since before Lockdown. One of the most underperforming players in the league according to xG where he used to always overperform. Can see him losing his place to Nacho next year

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Uh Nacho is already playing. Leicester need to sign a second striker to partner him and replace Vardy.

    2. Guba
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      13 goals and 13 assists is not a bad return with more games to play, looks like Iheanacho has dented his returns though but still helps the team significantly.
      Remember he was also the golden boot contender last year narrowly missing by only 1 or 2 goals.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Only 7 goals without pens. Nearly all of his goals last year came before Christmas

        1. Guba
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was replying to the comment he should retire, yes he returns have definitely been less this year. If you watch Leicester though you can see how important he still is though to the way they play.

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Useless. Past it ... we all love him but can’t continue on sentiment. Not good enough to be in that team and he’s now frankly a hinderance to Leicester. Sign a second striker next season and Vardy can do a something in their PR department.

  21. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Was Fofana subbed out due to injury or tactics?

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

      Ramadan.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Most likely tactics. Didn't need 3 CBs on the pitch.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      tactical I think

    4. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tactical

  22. People in Preston
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I went Evans over Castagne.

    Remembering from his MUN days that once he scores he goes on a streaky run.

    Goal, assist, goal in his last 3.

    Just saying like.

    1. Dirty_Harry
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice.

      1. People in Preston
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. It's been an awful season so little victories help.

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *Checks overall rank

      1. People in Preston
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks...

  23. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If you bought Vardy you have no one to blame but yourself.

  24. Dirty_Harry
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who goes for Zaha DGW punt?

    Midfield is:
    Salah Bruno Son Lingard Siggy

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm planning to bring him in for Jota

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      JLingz

    3. Bank$y
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son to zaha looks good

    4. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am wildcarding and Zaha is in. Even considering giving him the (c)...

    5. djman102
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Planning to bring him in for either Son or Jota.

    6. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at the DGW fixtures and with shite OR and nothing to lose, he's #1 on my transfer.

  25. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is it even worth getting Vardy or Bruno for the double next week? Vardy looks uninspiring and Bruno due a rest.

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don't have Bruno.

      Think he looks like essential captain next week

    2. Guba
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Feel it's a hold if you own and stay away if you don't, depending how Bruno looks against Pool.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Great defending from KWP

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's been great.

  27. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    KWP really earning his salary tonight...

  28. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kept Vardy over Bruno woesers

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    My heart stopped at that Vardy chance

  30. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just want the whistle.
