The Verdict

Honestly the best #10 for Southampton is a fluid one.  If you are twisting my arm, I start Dusan Tadic there against Swansea, but it should be a shared in-game role.

JWP, Boufal, and Redmond should all slide center at some point to expose defenses and show different looks. Lucky for us, the potential best #10 on the pitch Saturday, Gylfi Sigurdsson, may be on the move with a reported transfer to Everton. For me, he iss the type of player Southampton should be searching for immediately.
