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.

    The party can't happen without Vardy...get involved Jamie!

      Seriously. I can't have 3 Leicester players in this match and get no returns...

        You’ll get the CS points

        That would take some doing! Leicester defender too?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          4 years, 6 months ago

          Vardy (C), Maddison & Pereira.

          It's almost torture.

            Haha that's hard

            Ouch....still, plenty of time and 10 men of Southampton will hopefully get knackered and Vardy scores a few

    Oh god. Finally! I did Lamela > Tielemans and then benched TAA for him.

    1. THFC4LIFE

      Wow!!!!

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Fair play! was tempting to bench TAA too just couldnt do it

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

        Was a punt for sure.

        LOL

    Think Man City where 3-0 after about 18 minutes vs Watford and we know how that ended.

  4. SHOOTER MCGINN

    4 years, 6 months ago

    To be fair Leicester running away with it could be good for a last minute clean sheet wipe out if they get complacent.

    On the other hand they smashed Newcastle 5-0 and they know how to defend. This could be a cricket score.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It's a cricket score right now. It was a cricket score when the game started

    2. Pumpkinhead

      Not sure about that Southampton are completely gutted. Fans we're leaving after the second goal.

  5. Budweiser
    • 9 Years

    And you guys told me to bench Soy!!! Fuming!!

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      Maybe make your own decisions like a grown up?

      1. Budweiser

        I came for advice from the so called experts on here

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Does Soyuncu have a CS locked in? No

          Has Lundstram played yet? No

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

          Please don’t feel you have to in future

        3. Tempestic
          • 5 Years

          Yeh the experts obv can see that Southampton will get a man sent off.

      Idiotic post really

    Those Southampton players certainly don't like a cold, wet, windy Friday night in Stoke,

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The way both teams are going right now, they won’t have to worry about that next season anyway.

  7. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chilwell and Barnes are having so much joy down that wing.

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Knew Perez would turn out good

    1. Royal5

      😆

  9. TAT

    Why didn't I start Soy! No wonder I'm bad at FPL…

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Still got over an hour to change that

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Can't see them scoring, tbh…

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sourhhampton always score at home. Not a bad call just don't look like it right now but it still could be.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Diff going to get annoyed with me if he could. E anymore annoyed- it was only a typo honest

      2. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        That was my thinking initially, but still had a bad feeling benching Soy.

        All my mini league rivals who has him (which is all but a few) played him of course…

    3. FOO FIGHTER

  12. Differential C (Mark)

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Wait until Perez plays OOP, he’ll be essential then!

  17. Niho992
    • 5 Years

  18. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So, literally all the midfielders have attacking returns apart from Maddison? And nothing for Vardy? Great.

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty sure Maddison just dropped

  19. Cok3y5murf

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago
