Southampton and Leicester unchanged for Gameweek 10 opener

Both Southampton and Leicester have named unchanged sides for their Friday night clash at St. Mary’s Stadium.

That will be welcoming news for those in possession of Jamie Vardy (£9.1m), James Maddison (£7.2m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), the three most popular players in the first game of Gameweek 10.

It is the midfield option who will have the most attention from Fantasy Premier League managers, currently sat in 14.3% of squads.

Pereira is owned by 11.7% and while 11.5% are hoping from more attacking returns from Vardy.

Leicester remain without a clean sheet away from home this season so Fantasy managers are probably more expectant about Fantasy points at the other end of the pitch tonight.

That said, Vardy has scored in just one away match in 2019/20.

Gameweek 10 could see some improvement from Leicester’s attacking prospects on the road though, considering Southampton’s leaky defence at home this season.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side has conceded 10 goals across their four matches in front of their own fans since Gameweek 1, an average of 2.5 per game.

The Saints’ boss has stuck with the same defence as last time out though, lining them up in a back-three with wing-backs.

Maya Yoshida (£4.4m), Jannik Vestergaard (£5.2m) and Jan Bednarek (£4.5m) anchor the side with Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m) and Yan Valery (£4.8m) on the flanks.

Up-front is a man who has been capturing plenty of attention recently in Danny Ings (£5.9m).

He has started the last three Gameweeks, scoring in each of them, and may enjoy playing against this Leicester defence as they still chase their first away clean sheet of the campaign.

Southampton XI (5-3-2): Gunn; Bertrand, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Valery; Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Romeu; Redmond; Ings.

Leicester XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Pérez, Maddison, Tielemans, H Barnes; Vardy.

    Woy saying that the figures being bandied about for the Zaha transfer last summer were justified. Sky back it up by showing a goal he scored in April.

      It obviously has not been good for him getting his head turned by other clubs.

      He might put on a show over the next few tough fixtures trying to catch the eye of the big clubs again.

    Vardy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Vardy and Maddison blanks incoming

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      It’s entirely possible

      Their fixtures and form are solid enough that they have chance after chance to make amends for about 2 straight months now though

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Doubtful

  4. Al-Chemy

    Need to get Son out before the price drop tonight. Who's the best alternative for 9.6 or less?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      What if he bangs in a hatty tomorrow?

      1. badgerboy

        Or Sunday.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You could chance Pepe, but Vardy is probably a good shout if you can get an extra transfer

      1. Al-Chemy
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I've got 2 free transfers, so could do Son and Wilson for Vardy and Maddison/CHO/Martial to be fair

    First time poster here did a maverick "under the radar" Wood (Chelsea @ home possibly injured ) to Ings if my memory serves me right is currently the most in form player in the game . Also gives me some interest in tonight's as non Leicester players (yet !)

    1. Ógie

      Good luck with it,i will be gunning for you as i have no Leicester players starting. 🙂

    How does Andy Carrol even keep a contract?
    Guy hasn't played forever and just an injury waiting to happen.
    What a waste of cash.

      He’s great value compared with Sadio Berahino

    People struggling with FPL this season shouldn't fret. The most enjoyable season I ever had was in about 14/15 and I came ~1.2 millionth. It was enjoyable because I had a life though. That's the caveat I suppose.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER

      yea but you are saying this on a forum where people fret when a player moves from -80 to -90 on FPL stat

    Switched from Sterling to Kdb capt, was driving along and siad I must change back when I get to my destination... Alas forgot all about it... Kdb it is.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't fpl and drive,it is a bad combination.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Best ever cap switch i did was at a set of lights. If green would of been Kane 6 not Erik 19

  18. Wensink
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Used a roulette wheel to decide captaincy between KDB and Sterling, As good a system as any. (It came up KDB.)

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I've coin flipped in tough weeks and it's been perfect (but I ignored it one week and got hammered for that call) 🙁

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I did similar to decide on transfers

  19. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hmm. ML leader claims to have forgotten the deadline and captained Vardy...

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not a bad call anyway.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Could be genius

  20. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    So I thought I had captained KDB, but I forgot to press confirm..

    Ended up with vardy captain! Could either be very painful or extremely lucky this week..

    Will Connolly start in GW11?

    Important questions... FFS's RMT tool and Fix's Assistant Manager are telling me to start him over CHO 😀

    Maddi looks like he wants to devour Vardy in the article picture but Vardy saying no.

    1. Zladan

      Vardy looks like he’s just read Colleen Rooney’s tweet.

    Assuming Danny Ings can remain injury free tonight I plan to bring him in for Auba (to free up funds to get KDB back in before tonights price rise).

    So'ton fixtures look favourable from GW12 (and I can cover him GW11).
