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.

    So yeah I have Chilwell on the bench in draft. Any chance Stones or Otamendi doesn't play??

      No

      Like an over-the-hill middleweight.

    Is that Vardy top scorer in FPL as things stand now?

  4. Don Van Vliet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Chilwell on course for a 21 pointer as things stand.

  5. Epic Fail

    There's gonna be a newly made FPL team that has Perez(tc), Vardy and Chilwell.

  7. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Can someone explain how Vardy is scoring, the stats told me he wouldn't

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Got lucky again, and again, and probably again before the game is done.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 5 months ago

            What stat measures luck

              He is a stat buster, He is efficient af. He's proven that year after year.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah I'm only trolling making fun of the stats only guys

                Distance run divided by offsides, adjusted for party coefficient.

            He's been over-performing his xG all season.

          Maddison Wilson to Ayoze Vardy

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

            Cantwell & Maddy > Barnes & Perez

        3. SHOOTER MCGINN

          I have the feeling anyone with Chilwell is going to outscore my whole team this week.

          Fair play to anyone that's gone with the less popular Leicester picks.

        4. Railwayman
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Vardy needs one more to get 3 baps. Chilwell will get 3 more for the winning goal. Saints goal would be gold right now 😀

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

          Vardy (C), but also have Maddison & Pereira

          Rough with the smooth epitomised.

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            What’s wrong with Pereira?

              He's not Chilwell today, haha.

                Racist

                4 years, 5 months ago

                He will likely get a cleanie, can't expect too much more.

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

            there is no rough there

        6. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          City could genuinely score 15 next weekend, if they wanted.

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            This is mainly due to them playing with 10 men.

        7. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          7 goals no Maddison involvement is quite insane

          1. DaniCT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I was one click away to getting him. I don't know if would have survived it.

          If Maddison wants to play Champions League next season he should forget any talk about Man U and stay where he is.

          Who was it who told me this morning Vardy wasn’t essential?!?

          Vardy 2 goals now loving it. hope they concede one too 😀

          Those who don't have any Leicester assets must be looking for a couch now.

            Perez and Chilwell have less than 10% ownership combined.

          Man United's record winning margin of 9-0 against Ipswich Town back in 1995 is going down tonight.

            Most are glad they don't own Maddison

          What's Chilwell price gonna be at the start of GW11?

            He can only go up 0.3 so you do the math

          You make 2 subs and leave Yoshida on the field, you deserve everything you get.

          Would a Maddison YC be too cruel?

        23. Railwayman
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          What the chance for a penalty for Vardy ?

          I hate FPL this season. Every decision has backfired. Not getting Vardy on a free transfer (for Wilson) this GW just the latest. Meanwhile my mini league rivals are having a fantastic GW so far…

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            You were going to free transfer Vardy in for Wilson? Link your team I call BS.
