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.

      5 years, 1 month ago

    This party is rubbish, I'm leaving

  3. Fudgy

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

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

      Absolutely no danger there!

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

      You need some therapy man...

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

      He’s past it. Not worried in the slightest

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

    Leicester ... joke performance, utterly pathetic.

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

    Please drop points Leicester...

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

      They will. We also play against them

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

    McCarthy you beautiful man!

  7. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Remember when Ings and Vardy were a thing?

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

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

    Wrong player

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

      Ndidi.

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho close

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

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

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

    Blew it up, ref.

  13. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  14. JBG
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So, who C Vardy?

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

      Seemed like a lot of people were before the deadline

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      Ouch

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

      Fofana sub says hi

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have Nacho and Castagne. Oh well...

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      never captain a player in the early kickoff

  16. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Another bad GW starts with Nacho & Vardy...

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

      Just Nacho is fine, he still returned.

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

        Wand everyone has him anyway

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

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

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

    Castagne and Party owners were unlucky

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really? I was unlucky... surely not?

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

        They both missed big chances and 3 BP

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy is just a bad pick at the moment.

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

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

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    All Leicester against the 10 until the box.

    Points dropped.

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

    Salah to jwp looking okay now.

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

    End

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Did I miss the 9-0 ??

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

    KTBFFH. Now just don't drop points Chelsea 🙂

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

      I am worried without Rudiger

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

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

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      We famine.

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

      Crawling back into the night.

  25. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Get in Southampton!

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

    Bonus Points

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

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rival benched JWP lol

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

  27. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What’s everyone who owns doing with Rudiger??

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

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

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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
      5 years, 1 month 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
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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
      5 years, 1 month ago

      good punt for the doubles

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll still leave him

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

      Yep. liv/CRY FUL

  29. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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
      5 years, 1 month 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
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      3) JWP ? (liv, CRY, FUL)

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

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

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

    Hope to god Kane plays Vardy (vc)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why wouldn’t he? Course he will

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No chance
