Che Adams - Attempts three shots Adams generated three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Fulham.

Impact Adams logged Southampton's best shot tally Saturday. He averaged more than multiple shots across his 16 games from August to December. So during 2023, fantasy managers should not be surprised if Adams continues to be the sporadic goalscorer that he was across 2022.

James Ward Prowse - Goal on both ends Ward-Prowse scored one goal to go with an own goal, one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Fulham.

Impact Ward-Prowse was the one who deflected an Andreas Pereira shot that led to Southampton's first goal. However, the Englishman redeemed himself by scoring a free kick past Bernd Leno.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Romain Perraud - Scores own goal Perraud recorded an own goal and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-1 loss versus Brighton.

Impact Perraud was unfortunate to score an own goal in Southampton's return to action, as he deflected a cross from Pervis Estupinan into his own net while trying to defend what could've easily been a goal from Solomon March. The defender will try to bounce back when the Saints take on Fulham on Dec. 31.

Samuel Edozie - Takes three shots Monday Edozie had three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 loss to Brighton.

Impact Edozie started for the first time this season, and while the Saints had to settle for a 3-1 loss, he looked active on the left flank while posting a season-high mark in both shots and crosses. Given he's started just one match in the 2022-23 campaign, though, the 19-year-old might head back to the bench when the Saints take on Fulham on Dec. 31.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Elyounoussi - Active despite loss Elyounoussi registered three shots (two on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 loss to Brighton.

Impact Elyounoussi played deep behind the striker but was one of Southampton's most active players despite the defeat on Boxing Day. The Norway international has now gone four straight games without a goal or an assist, but he'll look to end that streak when the Saints take on Fulham on Saturday, a game in which Elyounoussi should remain in the starting lineup.

James Ward Prowse - Bags goal against Seagulls Ward-Prowse scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Monday's 3-1 loss versus Brighton.

Gavin Bazunu - Concedes three goals Monday Bazunu recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-1 loss versus Brighton.

Impact A regular starter for the Saints throughout the entire Premier League campaign, Bazunu hasn't had a lot of help from his defense, but he hasn't made a stronger case on his own since he's given up at least three goals in each of his last three contests. Furthermore, he had direct responsibility in Brighton's opening strike, courtesy of Adam Lallana. He has kept just one clean sheet this season and doesn't represent a strong fantasy alternative going forward.

Valentino Livramento - Pictured in training Livramento (knee) was pictured running in training during Friday's session.

Impact Livramento wasn't available in the Carabao Cup but is targeting a return during a Boxing Day clash with Brighton. The defender has yet to make his season debut after suffering a torn ACL in April, so a continued uptick in training is a good sign that he is nearing a return to the first team, though he will likely begin on the bench as he works his fitness back to his normal levels.
