GW11 Differentials: James Ward-Prowse

By The Scout 2 Nov 2021

The Scout is tipping four low-owned players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League.

The midfielder is found in only two per cent of squads for Southampton’s home match against Aston Villa.

Ward-Prowse started the campaign with goals against Newcastle United and Chelsea in the first seven Gameweeks.

His dismissal against the Blues resulted in a three-match ban and a drop in ownership in Fantasy.

But, having returned from his suspension last weekend, Ward-Prowse’s set-piece delivery will be a major weapon against Villa.

Dean Smith’s side have conceded 44 shots from such situations, second only to the 49 of Crystal Palace.

The underlying numbers prior to his ban highlight Ward-Prowse’s all-round influence on Southampton's attack.

His 10 chances created in the first seven Gameweeks were more than any team-mate.

And his six shots on target were bettered only by the seven of Adam Armstrong (£5.9m).

Notably, Ward-Prowse enjoyed his best ever score in Fantasy against Villa last term.

He claimed 17 points in Gameweek 7, thanks to two goals and an assist.

Villa visit St Mary’s Stadium in poor defensive form, having conceded at least three goals in each of the last three Gameweeks.

Ward-Prowse’s potential for goals and assists can help earn him another big return against Villa on Friday.

Remember, the Gameweek 11 deadline is at 18:30 GMT on Friday 5 November.
