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.

      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

  13. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  14. FPL Daniel

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

  15. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Should've got Vardy in for Wilson or Auba. Massive red incoming.

    Which FPL player do u fear this GW? (Because u don't own them)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Just Aguero

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    3. LordRougeGrog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hudson-Odoi. The Pulisic show midweek made me hold fire on bringing him in for McGinn.

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      KDB and Mane, same as every week.

      ...but with the Bertrand Red Card, I immediately checked t see how many of my ML have Vardy.

    5. TAT
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Söyüncü, Vardy (any Leicester really), Robertson, Sterling, Kun, Mendy, Jiménez, Tomori, Maupay, and Dunk to name a few.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Own Söyüncü though, but he's on the bench.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Leicester players .

  25. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Gotta be Maddison's turn next, surely!

  26. insertcomedyname
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    It’s going to be a blank for Maddison, isn’t it? Been that kind of season.

  27. Pedram
    • 10 Years
