Theo Walcott - Out against West Ham Walcott has a small issue and will miss Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Walcott started the first two matches of the season and then was dropped completely after going only 45 minutes against Man United. It seems like he lost his spot to Mohamed Elyounoussi, who won a starting role by bagging three goals in a Cup match against Newport County.

Stuart Armstrong - Still not ready to return Armstrong continues to miss out with a calf injury and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "Stu is still going to take a little bit more time...

Impact This update seems more like Armstrong will miss a couple more matches before he's ready to return. He's not in training and at this point probably hasn't trained in a month. While he started 32 matches last season, he hasn't been a major absence in the squad through three matches.

Mohamed Elyounoussi - Plays well in lone start Elyounoussi has started just one of three games so far this season for Southampton.

Impact Elyounoussi drew the start in the Saints' most recent game against Newcastle, playing the full 90 minutes. The attacker played well firing three shots and crossing three times and may see more time moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Walker-Peters - Replaced as starter Walker-Peters has made just one start through the opening three games of Southampton's season.

Impact Walker-Peters seems to be losing time to both Romain Perraud and Valentino Livramento so far this year. The defender will continue to fight for a spot as he was one of the bright spots of a shaky season for the Saints last year.

Theo Walcott - Two starts so far Walcott has started two of Southampton's opening three matches in the new season.

Impact Walcott started the opening two matches for the Saints before being benched for their most recent fixture. Walcott should continue to see sporadic time as a player without a ton of upside.

Romain Perraud - Two starts thus far Perraud has started two of Southampton's opening three games of the new season.

Impact Perraud started the opening two matches for the Saints but was benched for their most recent fixture against Newcastle. The Summer signing should continue to see the bulk of time at left back for the Saints.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa Djenepo - Locked into starting role Djenepo has started all three games for Southampton so far this season.

Impact Djenepo has been locked into a starting role playing 218 of a possible 270 minutes. The attacker should continue to see time as one of the men on the flank for the Saints moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Oriol Romeu - Piling up tackles Romeu has started all three games for Southampton during the new season.

Impact Romeu has returned from an injury plagued season to start all three games for the Saints so far. The midfielder leads Southampton with 11 tackles through the first three fixtures.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Stephens - Three starts so far Stephens has started all three games for Southampton in the new season.

Impact Stephens has been locked into a starting role for Southampton thus far playing every minute of every game. The defender has the second highest amount of tackles and clearances on the team through three games.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Shane Long - Tests positive for COVID-19 Long tested positive for COVID-19 while away with the Ireland national team.

Impact Long may have been in line to see minutes with Ireland, something he isn't getting at Southampton. Similar to last season, he no longer has a role with the Saints, as he managed just 200 minutes from 11 appearances prior to his loan to Bournemouth last campaign.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Che Adams - Takes two shots Saturday Adams had two shots (one on target) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact Adams has yet to hit the back of the net and he has now played fewer minutes than newcomer Adam Armstrong. Even with the departure of Danny Ings, it seems like Adams is still the secondary striker for Southampton, leading to just four shots in three matches.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Armstrong - Takes five shots against Newcastle Armstrong had five shots not on target and four inaccurate crosses in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact Armstrong has yet to miss a minute for Southampton, which is a great sign for him this season. Even better is that he seems to be in the Danny Ings role, which should lead to more goals. Through three matches, he's taken 10 shots, which is a few better than Che Adams.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Valentino Livramento - Creates three chances in draw Livramento had three chances created and three inaccurate crosses in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact Livramento has come in and been the starting right-back upon his arrival. He doesn't have a ton of fantasy upside, but he'll get forward for a few crosses every match, which adds to what has been consistent defensive numbers.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Converts late equalizer Ward-Prowse had five shots (two on target) and four corners to go with a late equalizing penalty in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact It was a mediocre day from Ward-Prowse before the PK, but that's sometimes is how it goes. In addition to taking every set piece for Southampton, it looks like he also has PKs over Adam Armstrong, another boost to his fantasy value after losing PKs to Danny Ings in prior seasons.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alex McCarthy - Saves two in 2-2 draw McCarthy made two saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact McCarthy stood tall in the first half but the clean sheet quickly disappeared as Newcastle piled on the pressure Saturday. The downside for McCarthy is that he's not making an overwhelming amount of saves, limiting his fantasy value behind a weak back line.
