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.

    How many more we reckon Leicester score?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      2 and concede 1

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      3 more. But I think they will concede 1 consolation goal.

      After such a half things should go slow now IMO

  4. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    The potentisl rough - No Vardy or Maddison
    The potential smooth - 7/2 pre season big bet on Leicester without the big 6 .

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You've won that bet pal!

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nice bet, were they favourites? Must've been them or Everton right?

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks .Everton were favs at 5/2 . I thought that it was a shoo in. A few holidays if it wins !

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

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

      Thats wrong, it was barnes

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

      Don’t think he had touched the ball before the goal went in.

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

        Behave !
        That was his 5th touch of the half. I'm counting as only player playing tonight
        😛

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

      • 7 Years

      He knew you sold him.

      1. Magic Zico

      And all that is now
      And all that is gone
      And all that's to come
      And everything under the sun is in tune
      But the sun is eclipsed by the moon 🙂

    7. Sharkytect

  7. OverTinker

    5 goals and Vardy has only one shi,,,,,,,,,,,

  8. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Yeah, I also had Perez stinking out my team until a couple of weeks ago. And Soy as 2nd sub of course.

    But that's FPL4U.

    1. moz_1983
      • 11 Years

      Livid is an adjective that doesn't even begin to cover it.

  9. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    We're just an Aguero benching away from an all-merciful Vardy stampede

  10. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Should've done that easy Otamendi ➡ Chilwell switch [sighs]

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

      Love these. Ota with two home games.

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

        It's always should have done x player to y player whose done well

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

          I had a player who is now doing well up until the deadline. Then took him out for someone terrible.

    2. lilmessipran

      Hindsight huh

    This will be forgotten tomorrow after City get 10

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

    If this goes to 90 without Maddison returning it's pretty much as satisfying for non owners as one of your own players hauling

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It really isn't but okay

  13. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Has a PL team ever led 0-5 before at HT I wonder?

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Last team to do it was Sheff Wed v Bolton

    2. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Thank you opta. City at Burnley in 2010. That finished 5-5 iirc

    3. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      City was 5-0 up against Warford after 19

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

        Hm ok 0-5 🙂

    4. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Highly doubt it.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        City at Burnley only ever previous occasion in pl

    5. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Leicester are only the second team in Premier League history to establish a five-goal lead in the first half of an away game, after Manchester City against Burnley in April 2010 (5-0).

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You only have to go back like 4 gameweeks ago when Man City were leading Watford 5-0 at halftime

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

        Away match he means

      2. Surfeit of Lampteys

      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I went for him last minute after being on Tielemans all week.

      Hopefully Maddison picks up something in the second half.

    7. Royal5

    Vardy will be so far away from a bap come the end

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not when he scores 2 more 🙂

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      probably

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He normally bosses them.

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

      Not after this 3rd goal.

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not after another two assisted by Maddison

    6. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      With one more goal he will be in game for baps, specially IF Saints score.

  17. JC9
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    how's Chilwell doing ? is it because SOT less players or he is playing good since few weeks now ?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      England's number 1

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Chilwell has been unreal

      1. JC9
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        so is he better than Otamendi and Boly for for the coming weeks?

        i am thinking of changing Otamendi for either Boly or Chilwell ....

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best player on the pitch.

    4. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He is good, but tonight everything is about a early goal and red card for Southampton. That's my opinion at least.

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I could afford him on wc and picked Soy. Who I benched anyway.
      I am a 'tard

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Same here. Was looking Chilwell, but ended with crappy Soyu, only good for 6 points with no threat what so ever.

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Like him ...

      Oh dear god

  19. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Soyu is firmly on my bench as a 3rd sub and Vardy scoring just one goal. Hope to see at least one more from him, since Saints scoring isn't happening tonight...

  20. Botman and Robben

      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      When you go back to the pitch close your eyes and go to your happy place for 45 mins. Soon it'll be over and they can't hurt anymore.

    As a Maddison owner I feel for Southampton

  23. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester a better team than when they won the title, or just a kante short of it?

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

      Better now imo.

      Everything fell into place that year though.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Rivals were bang average but they had to go win it.

        Better to watch now for sure.

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

      Better team but 10x more difficult league

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair they weren't a great team when they won the title. It was a (relatively) poor Premier League.

      1. Regin
