Carlos Alcaraz - Could be available at weekend Alcaraz (not injury related) is hoping to be able to make his Southampton debut against Everton on Saturday.

Impact Southampton manager Nathan Jones said Thursday that Alcaraz "should be" available for Saturday's game, and that they're just waiting on his visa to arrive. It is unlikely that Alcaraz would start so soon after just arriving in from Argentina on Wednesday, but he has the ability to crack the XI in midfield once he gets up to speed with his new team.

Carlos Alcaraz - Transfers to Southampton Alcaraz has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Southampton after transferring from Racing Club in Argentina, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Alcaraz has wracked up 12 goals and six assists in 83 senior appearances for Racing Club across his career, including nine goals and two assists in 2022 alone. The 20-year-old primarily plays in central midfield but he can also push out to the right wing, and he will want to try to spark up some form for his new club which currently sits bottom of the Premier League table.

Stuart Armstrong - Out for cup tie Armstrong missed Saturday's FA Cup victory over Crystal Palace due to injury, and he will miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Manchester City as well, Southampton manager Na...

Impact Armstrong "has been playing through injury for a while," according to Jones, and he's used this week of cup matches to give the 30-year-old some rest ahead of next weekend's Premier League clash with Everton.

Armel Bella-Kotchap - To miss multiple weeks Bella-Kotchap is set to miss multiple weeks after suffering a knee injury during Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Bella-Kotchap limped off the pitch in the 34th minute and now will face an extended absence. He was replaced in the match by Duje Caleta-Car who likely will be the beneficiary of starting XI minutes.

Mislav Orsic - Joins Premier League side Orsic signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Southampton after completing a move from Dinamo Zagreb on Friday.

Impact Orsic started all six of his Champions League appearances for Zagreb this season in which he recorded two goals on 13 shots (three on target), 16 crosses (three accurate) and 13 corners. With Croatia at the World Cup, the forward made just one start but still managed to register one goal on nine shots (two on target), two assists and five chances created. With Southampton, Orsic should be in line to take a spot in the starting XI and could factor into the corner-taking duties as well, which would make him a top-half fantasy target.

Forest beats Southampton 1-0, out of Premier League bottom 3

Nottingham Forest climbed out of the Premier League’s relegation zone and left Southampton adrift in last place with a 1-0 win over its lowly rival

Samuel Edozie - Plays 26 minutes Edozie recorded one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Edozie did not do much across his allotted playing time, and he will try to be part of Southampton's starting XI again during 2023. He attempted four shots and three crosses across Southampton's last two games of 2022. Though not much, those rates are still more promising than what he is likely to continue doing as a backup instead.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Attempts 14 crosses Ward-Prowse had one shot (zero on goal), 14 crosses (five accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Ward-Prowse tried his absolute best to help Southampton get on the scoresheet but failed, unlike when he scored during the Saints' last game of 2022. Though they remain last across their 2022-23 Premier League campaign, Ward-Prowse remains a valued option. None of the Saints' other players offer more upside than the English midfielder.

Gavin Bazunu - Allows one goal Bazunu conceded one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Bazunu allowed a goal from Taiwo Awoniyi without logging any saves to compensate for it. The goalkeeper will try redeeming himself during Southampton's next game, currently scheduled at Everton on Jan. 14. Since before the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Bazunu has not recorded a log with more saves than goals conceded.

Armel Bella-Kotchap - Limps off Wednesday Bella-Kotchap limped off with an apparent knee injury during Wednesday's clash with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Bella-Kotchap was unable to carry on after picking up an apparent knee injury. The defender was replaced by Duje Caleta-Car, who would see more playing time if Bella-Kotchap's injury proves to be serious. Bella-Kotchap has 10 days to be evaluated before a Jan. 14 trip to Everton.

Moussa Djenepo - Included in match-day squad Djenepo (undisclosed) will be available as a substitute versus Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Djenepo made just one start in the club's last 10 Premier League contests, so his presence on the bench shouldn't come as a surprise. With no clear path to the starting XI, Djenepo is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value the rest of the season.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Samuel Edozie - Available off bench Edozie (strain) was included in the match-day squad versus Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Edozie started each of the first two matches coming out of the World Cup break but will once again find himself on the bench at kickoff. On the season, the attacking midfielder has primarily served as a substitute and could find himself back in the role moving forward.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Valentino Livramento - Ruled out again versus Forest Livramento (knee) will not be available against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Livranmento has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season as he continues to work his way back from a long-term knee issue. Even once cleared to play, the defender's long-term absence will likely see him make a substitute appearance or two before being in contention for the starting XI.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Larios - Won't play Wednesday Larios (hamstring) will be sidelined against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Considering Larios has logged just five matches this year, his continued absence probably went unnoticed by the majority of fantasy players. Even once cleared to play, Larios figures to come off the bench more often than not, making him a low-end fantasy target.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Theo Walcott - Remains unavailable Walcott (calf) was left out of the match-day squad versus Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Walcott will miss his third straight contest coming out of the World Cup break due to his calf issue. Even prior to getting hurt, Walcott was frequently a healthy scratch and has made just three appearances (one start) this season. Perhaps Walcott will look to make a move during the transfer window as that is likely his only path to regular minutes.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex McCarthy - Sidelined with ankle problem McCarthy (ankle) will not be in the squad to face Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact McCarthy has found himself relegated to the backup role behind Gavin Bazunu this season, so his absence probably didn't impact the starting XI. Without a clear path to minutes, McCarthy figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests moving forward.
