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.

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

    This party is rubbish, I'm leaving

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

    Any non vardy owners feeling sick right now ? So nervous, desperate for a blankster

    1. Oggle22
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Absolutely no danger there!

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      You need some therapy man...

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

      He’s past it. Not worried in the slightest

  4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Leicester ... joke performance, utterly pathetic.

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

      Busy schedule getting to them. Played 2 games a week for a while now and they don’t have the squad to cope

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

        Getting knocked out of Europe early was the blessing for their season ; top four because of it.

  5. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Please drop points Leicester...

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

      They will. We also play against them

  6. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    McCarthy you beautiful man!

  7. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Remember when Ings and Vardy were a thing?

    Now Iheanacho and Lingard are the essentials. How times have changed.

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Picked Vardy on my WC because I like a challenge. Playing with 10 men and 10 million less budget each week.

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

    Wrong player

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

      Ndidi.

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

    Nacho close

  11. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Vardy train was booked to go to Argentina, ended up in Singapore lol

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Blew it up, ref.

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

    Time to sell Vardy for Watkins/Cavani/DCL right?
    Already own Nacho but don't have Utd cover

  14. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    So, who C Vardy?

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

      Seemed like a lot of people were before the deadline

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Couldn’t be going much worse as a Vardy(c), Nacho and Castagne owner on a hit.

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

      Ouch

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

      Fofana sub says hi

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I have Nacho and Castagne. Oh well...

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

      never captain a player in the early kickoff

  16. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Another bad GW starts with Nacho & Vardy...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Just Nacho is fine, he still returned.

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

        Wand everyone has him anyway

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Luck doesn’t strike twice, no 0-9 tonight.

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

    Castagne and Party owners were unlucky

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

      Really? I was unlucky... surely not?

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

        They both missed big chances and 3 BP

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Vardy has missed more big chances this season than anyone - level with Werner and Mane. You pick him nowadays for the assist potential.

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

        Vardy is just a bad pick at the moment.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      As a Vardy owner I'm not unlucky. I'm just stupid.

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    All Leicester against the 10 until the box.

    Points dropped.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      They deserve nothing and certainly not top four with that pathetic showing. A whole match pretty much vs 10 men ... shambolic.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Cup finalists and top 4 champions league across the season...

        Could still be a successful one. Not today.

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Salah to jwp looking okay now.

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

    End

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

    Did I miss the 9-0 ??

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    KTBFFH. Now just don't drop points Chelsea 🙂

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

      I am worried without Rudiger

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        It's only Fulham. They need to find to goal first.

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

      What does KTBFFH mean?? Don’t actually know any real Chelsea fans

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Keep the blue flag flying high

  24. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    They HATE to see it, oh yes they don’t!

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

      We famine.

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

      Crawling back into the night.

  25. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Get in Southampton!

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

    Bonus Points

    3 - Ward-Prowse (32)
    2 - Evans (26)
    1 - McCarthy (25)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Rival benched JWP lol

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Cue cursing his luck when someone isn't selected over the weekend!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Everyone in his first 11 should play though, and heMs second on his bench also lol

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

      Forster definitely ain't getting back in the XI. McCarthy earned that 1 bonus !

  27. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    What’s everyone who owns doing with Rudiger??

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

      Selling in 36, possibly 35 depending on how Everton look.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Selling right away for one of the DGW + SGW boys. I have a transfer saved and it works out.

    3. FPL_Motty
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Probably moving to digne. I think he plays city but might be rested against arsenal before cup final. Own mendy so don't need double up

  28. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    The real FPL lesson to be learned from this game is JWP (currently on 3 baps) played every minute of every game this season on penalties, corners & free kicks 2 games in 35 plays in 36 & decent fixtures too

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      good punt for the doubles

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I’ll still leave him

    3. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yep. liv/CRY FUL

  29. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Pick one from both groups:
    a) Walker-Peters (liv, CRY, FUL)
    b) Konsa (MUN, EVE, cry)
    c) Coleman (whu, avl, SHU)

    1) Mount (mci, ARS)
    2) Zaha (shu, sou)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I guess C2 but most fixtures are tight in EPL.

      Even Sheffield United are back putting up a fight.

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      3) JWP ? (liv, CRY, FUL)

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Good option but I think I still see Zaha more apeealing.

  30. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Hope to god Kane plays Vardy (vc)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Why wouldn’t he? Course he will

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        If he was rushed into the cup final and is not 100% then a Kane rotation is possible.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          No chance
