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
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.
