Assists Saturday Ward-Prowse assisted once to go with three crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Ward-Prowse provided one assist during Saturday's loss, creating just the single chance. The midfielder was given limited chances by a stout Liverpool defense, sending in just three crosses, his second lowest tally of the campaign. Ward-Prowse remains an elite option for Southampton based off of his volume on all set-pieces, but won't travel to Qatar with the England national team, largely due to his poor form in the first half of the Premier League season.

Logs 11 crosses versus Newcastle Ward-Prowse had one shot on goal, created three chances and sent in 11 crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 4-1 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Ward-Prowse demonstrated his high ceiling due to his role on set pieces. Despite the quiet performance overall, the midfielder still had high playmaking and crossing numbers due to the several corners he had to take throughout the contest. Despite having only one goal and one assist over 14 starts this season, the Saints' captain remains one of EPL's top fantasy performers at his position.

Creates four chances versus Palace Ward-Prowse had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in nine crosses (four accurate) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Ward-Prowse once again delivered in the middle of the park, matching his season high in chances created and being dangerous as usual with his crosses from both open play and set pieces. Despite of the nice stat line, he couldn't lead his side to find the back of the net for the fourth time over the last eight contests. Ward-Prowse is one of the steadiest fantasy contributors among all EPL midfielders and will try to translate his individual production into team success during Nov. 6 home clash versus Newcastle.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in five crosses Ward-Prowse took an off target shot, crossed five times (one accurate) and created a chance during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

Impact Ward-Prowse was held off the scoresheet but led Southampton with five crosses in the match. The midfielder doesn't need to score to be useful for fantasy players with just two goal involvements in his 11 starts, but his 84 crosses not only lead the team but are also the second most in the league.

Rather ineffective in draw Ward-Prowse sent in six crosses (zero accurate), made two interceptions and added four corners during Sunday's 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Impact Relative to Ward-Prowse's typical usage, this was a disappointing outing for fantasy purposes. His six crosses were a team high for Saints, but he was unable to connect on any of those attempts. That said, his role as lead set piece taker appears locked in and should help provide a decent floor on output. AFC Bournemouth presents an appealing rebound opportunity of sorts Wednesday.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in loss Ward-Prowse created one chance on one cross and won two-of-three tackles during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Ward-Prowse couldn't make much headway as the hosts completed over double the amount of passes and didn't leave much space in which to work.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

All over pitch in defeat Ward-Prowse had two shots (zero on target), 10 crosses (three accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Everton.

Impact Fantasy points were at a premium in this matchup, and Ward-Prowse salvaged his final line with some decent peripheral numbers. His 10 crosses and seven corners both paced all players on the pitch Saturday, but Southampton were unable to finish clinically in the final third. Still, as long as Ward-Prowse maintains his role as Saints' preferred set piece option, he warrants strong fantasy consideration whenever his squad take the pitch.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eight crosses in defeat Ward-Prowse had two shots (zero on target), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Aston Villa. He was also shown yellow once.

Impact During a game contested largely in the middle-third, Ward-Prowse salvaged his stat line with volume over quality. His eight crosses led all players on the pitch, but he was only able to connect on two of those attempts. Given his role as Southampton's preferred set piece option, he figures to be a fantasy-friendly option for most matchweeks and has logged one goal and one assist in seven league starts.

Makes four tackles in draw Ward-Prowse won two-of-four tackles, logged four inaccurate crosses and put one shot off target during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leeds United.

Impact Ward-Prowse still got involved with two set pieces but a pesky opponent made it far harder for him to achieve a higher level of attacking production.
