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.

    I hate this game so much that for the first time in 10 years I’m switching off the live game. Goodnight

    Should have done Kane>Vardy as planned. Something was nagging me Saints would get a point. How wrong I was!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Did it and am happy

    Bertrand on -5 right now, is that a record maybe ?

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Actually maybe...

      Including BAPS?

        Points 😀

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

      Dunne -6, the believed record.

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        do you remember vs who?

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

          Boro 8-0 City.

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

      Previous record is -4, right?

      He's smashed it I think.

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

      If Leicester score one more, he will be on -6.

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

      How come goals conceded are still counted against when he's not on the pitch?

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Because the player not being on the pitch is kinda why the score is what it is

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

        Because he's left his team with a man down, that rule is in use for a few years now.

    Leichester hitting great form. Great fixtures also.
    So who would you get from Lei?
    Vardy and Maddison maybe? I have Soyuncu already.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Comeback on the cards.. Brendan looking nervy in the dugout

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Should've gone Vardy + Dilva instead of Mane + Connolly...

    Playing safe just doesn't seem to work this season.

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Why was what you did safe?

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve played safe and it’s not worked, and I’ve done the risky transfer and it’s not worked

      I did get Vardy 2 weeks ago though. First solid transfer this season

  9. Chucky

    Okay let's be real, how badly would Southampton have fared if they still had 11 players on the pitch? Still conceded 4 to Chelsea .
