Ward-Prowse to deliver on Fantasy promise

Show/hide article…

Following on from the most popular £4.5m option in Fantasy Premier League, The Scout’s watchlist of budget midfielders continues.

James Ward-Prowse can finally break out as a big FPL option over the new season.

The Southampton midfielder has always offered points potential due to his ability to pick a pass and outstanding dead-ball prowess.

In 2014/15, those talents produced eight assists from just 16 starts.

He heads into the new campaign after four goals and four assists in 2016/17, producing his best-ever FPL tally (92 points).

Ward-Prowse fired a shot every 44.9 minutes last season compared with 54.8 minutes in 2015/16.

He also created chances at a faster rate, providing a key pass every 43.8 minutes compared with 47.9.

He has become a more prominent figure in Southampton’s attack.

In 2016/17 he received the ball every 2.2 minutes with an average of 10.0 passes received in the attacking third.

This was up from 2.7 minutes and 4.8 passes in 2015/16.

More significantly, Ward-Prowse scored or assisted 38.9% of Southampton’s goals last season when on the pitch, up from 21.4% in the previous campaign.

These numbers offer food for thought for FPL managers.

Priced at just £5.5m, the 22-year-old will be expected to progress further under the guidance of new manager Mauricio Pellegrino.

Southampton players are key targets over the opening months due to their early fixtures.

Their schedule averages just 2.1 in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR) over the opening 11 Gameweeks, lower than any other side.

Nathan Redmond and Dusan Tadic (both £6.5m) will tempt midfield investment, with the former already part of 11.6% of squads.

With just 1.6% ownership, Ward-Prowse is currently being overlooked.

But that will change dramatically should his FPL points begin to reflect the progress shown in recent seasons.

St Etienne set to sign Newcastle and Southampton target Yann Karamoh as fee is agreed with Caen

Show/hide article…

St Etienne have agreed a fee with Caen for Newcastle United and Southampton target Yann Karamoh.

The 19-year-old is in high demand this summer after breaking into the first team last season and bagging five goals in Ligue 1.

Newcastle and Southampton have been actively pursuing the striker, while Italian club Fiorentina and French champions Monaco have held talks with him too.

But, according to L’Equipe, St Etienne are set to pull off a major coup as they have now agreed a fee for Karamoh.

Caen are said to have accepted an initial bid of £5.3million, although that amount could rise significantly due to a number of bonuses included in the deal.

The news will come as a blow to the likes of Newcastle and Southampton, who had been hoping to land the France under-21 international this summer.

Caen, meanwhile, had offered Karamoh a new contract with his current deal due to expire in a year – but he snubbed that proposal.

Rodriguez scores a screamer for West Brom

Show/hide article…

FORMER Saints man Jay Rodriguez has hit the ground running with new club West Bromwich Abion, netting a debut screamer in the Premier League Asia Cup.

The striker, who Saints sold for £14m this month, gave the Baggies the lead in Hong Kong against top-flight rivals Leicester with a sensational effort.

From the edge of the box, the 27-year-old picked up the ball and let fly, hitting the top left of the net in stunning fashion on 10 minutes, before Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez levelled to take the game to a penalty shootout, which the Foxes won.

Rodriguez left Saints on July 2, ending a five year stint at St Mary’s, which was marked by serious injuries.
