James Ward-Prowse

The midfielder has started the last six league games under Ralph Hasenhuttl and has shown a different side to his game not seen before.

He went on a scoring run of three goals in three games against Leicester, Everton and Crystal Palace after being criticised in the past for not contributing enough in forward areas.

Hasenhuttl called on him to add more bite to his game and become tougher, and it appears that the Austrian’s words have motivated the England international to take his game to the next level.

Just 2% of Fantasy Premier League players have the 24-year-old in their teams ahead of the weekend, meaning that the majority may be missing out if he stays on his good run of form at St Mary’s tomorrow.
