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.

    Vardy wasnt a particularly smart captain choice. This a freak result thanks to Redmond and presumably management skills

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond?

      what are you on about?

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      if Vardy was the best captain choice in an away game then people really need to assess their team

      Yeah I'm furious

  5. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    But seriously, is Madders playing deeper than before? Has not been anywhere near any of goals.

    1. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah been looking like a CDM for most of the game

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed

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

      Yes

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Has never been a great option - historically averages about 4 points per game which is not great value for 7.2m IMO

  6. Northey
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Took Chilwell out for Tomori to fund Cantwell to CHO. Hope this ends soon. Not sure if i mean this match or the season.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years

      So unluckee

    2. AC

      That’s a sad story hope it turns out ok long term

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tielemans out two weeks ago

      Perez and Vardy in my WC team but didn’t pull the trigger... “just one more week” 😐

      Only saving graces are Maddison blanking. Southampton goal would be (relatively) superb here

  7. Baines on Toast...

    Pérez only 9 behind Mount for the season pre-BAPs

  8. Ha.

    I nearly had a bet on 7-0, too

    1. Now I'm Panicking

      Of course you did

  9. Atimis

      P or T

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

      Tielemans the best footballer and potential for baps of the mf choices

  11. MarcusAurelius

    Vardy goal now to steal 3 baps off Chilwell and Pérez!

    Perez fail.....whoops force of habit

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Certainly was

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

    C'mon Vardy, one more goal for a nice 17 points haul.

  14. dark91
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    That was quite a lovely control by Perez

  15. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years

    Why are most people here permanently annoyed...

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      It’s been the worst season ever.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years

        This.

    2. Ha.

      Increased cortisol

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Because their FPL teams are doing rubbish

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Its what the game eventually does to you. Enjoy it now

      Brexit

      1. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        17.4m is nothing in this game.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Will be Vardy's price soon

    6. IRBOX ⚽

      Season of complete luck this one

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Because it's the first season where the template isn't working...
      ...and it's great!

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

      Without sounding dramatic, I think this is the most frustrating season ever

  16. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Soy 1st on bench

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

      Correct me if I'm wrong but he's not got the CS points yet.
      Valid comment if you had Chilwell or TPerez on bench.
      Just saying

    Vardy jammers getting spoonfed goals again this week. So jammy

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Same as Newcastle match. They won’t play 10 men every week

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

      Mhmm jam yummy

    3. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yum!

    4. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lovely lovely jam

    5. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I know, how jammy to pick a player who keeps scoring goals in an attacking team with great form since their new attack-minded manager joined.

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This! Thank you!

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Vardy owners boasting should be banned for life. You’re like boris Johnson rugby tackling children

      3. Swanremainsthesame
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        & against a team that has lost big against every top side at home so far - who could possibly have seen this coming ???

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Why jammy? Replaced Kane with him and also enjoying spending the extra cash elsewhere.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        A little salty I know but I think he's getting at the fact Leicester themselves have unforeseeably scored 7 in one match, so Vardy inevitably hauls.

    7. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not brilliant - he only has 5 more points from 4.7 million Söyüncü in a 7-0 haul.

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

    Leicester on the ropes.

  20. Hy liverpool

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Chilwell is a beast...

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Which is why I want to see England play a very functional and defensive midfield three. Something like Henderson, Winks and Delph. It will give the protection to the centre-backs to let Chilwell and TAA forward.

      Pickford
      TAA Gomez Maguire Chilwell
      Winks Delph Henderson
      Sancho Kane Sterling

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ox over Delph for me and drop Winks into the middle

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not fussed. But they need to be mobile and be able to win the ball back quickly.

          I watch Rice and he is slow and finds it hard to turn around quickly.

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Milk turns quicker than him, overrated imo, young and English so he’s hyped up

      2. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        In other words, how Liverpool play. Hasn't done them much harm.

  21. BigBillyBass

    Would love a Soton goal. Just the 1 will do

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thats all I want, screw all these Soy owners and the slightly smarter ones who went for Pereira

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Soyuncu cheapest option into Leicester defence, great enabler, smart move

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

      Yes please

  22. Pedram

    Wipe that clean sheet Soton

  23. Zladan

    Saints goal please.

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

      nah

  24. Baines on Toast...

    Think about the money people make selling the idea football is predictable, then watch this.

  25. Lev Yashin

    Saints goal to liven things up?

  26. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Leicester have scored more away goals tonight than Man Utd have in their last 12 away games!

  27. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Well that’s my season over

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

      Same here. Been losing out on points from my mini league rivals from the start, and the gap is only increasing with every gameweek.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same, I was doing well for about 4 gameweeks and now awful. This season just makes no sense to me. Everything has gone wrong.

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

          Indeed. The worst thing is that the team looks kinda alright, but it delivers nothing.

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

    Can I have the farewell goal Maddison?

  29. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm gettimg Vardy Perez and Chilwell in tonight and they will blank the next 4 games whoop whoop!

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Might have to eat a bit of humble pie with Maddison & start thinking about alternatives

    Last two games have been worrying

    Martial & CHO would love a slot in my team for example if Maddo is going to act the bollocks and get 0 of the 16 attacking returns Leicester have managed to generate in 2 games

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      This is like McGinn last week.

      I too am starting to regret Maddison after only two weeks

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, classic stick or twist situation
