<h2>The Best Southampton FPL Players 2021/22 | Southampton in Brief</h2>
<p>Since returning to the <strong>Premier League</strong> in 2012, <strong>Southampton</strong> have established themselves as top-flight mainstays.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the dizzy heights of successive top-half finishes are a distant memory for the coastal club. Since the 17/18 season, <strong>Ralph Hasenhüttl</strong>&#8216;s side have been largely underachieving in the eyes of their fans.</p>
<p>They tend to play attacking football, often at the expense of their defensive rigidity. They were actually in the <strong>top 10 teams for goals scored</strong> last season, but <strong>conceded the second-most amount of goals</strong> in the process. Only <strong>West Brom</strong> conceded more.</p>
<p>Their defensive frailty was most emphatically illustrated when, in the 19/20 season, <strong>Southampton</strong> became only the second team to lose by <strong>nine goals</strong> in the <strong>Premier League</strong> era. <strong>Then they did it again a year later</strong>.</p>
<p>Regardless of their obvious troubles at the back, their <strong>FPL assets remain intriguing</strong>. Let&#8217;s take a look at <strong>the best Southampton FPL players</strong>.</p>
<p>https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-ultimate-guide/</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>The Best Southampton FPL Players | James Ward-Prowse (MID &#8211; £6.5m)</h2>
<p>I know, I know. It&#8217;s obvious. But here&#8217;s a hot-take for you: <strong>obvious isn&#8217;t always a bad thing</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>James Ward-Prowse </strong>was tipped by many to be part of England&#8217;s Euro 2020 squad. His eventual omission was a surprise for those who kept a close eye on him during <strong>the 2020/21 season</strong>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because he was very impressive. <strong>Ward-Prowse</strong> has distinguished himself as one of the best dead-ball specialists in the <strong>Premier League</strong>. His haul of <strong>156 FPL points</strong> last season &#8211; comprised of <strong>eight goals</strong> and <strong>seven assists</strong> &#8211; is the best tally for a <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-mid-priced-midfielders/"><strong>£6.5m FPL midfielder</strong></a> outside of Leeds duo <strong>Jack Harrison (£6.0m)</strong> and <strong>Stuart Dallas (£5.5m)</strong>.</p>
<p>Reading these metrics, it&#8217;s surprising that <strong>Ward-Prowse</strong> isn&#8217;t more discussed when <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-mid-priced-midfielders/"><strong>the best FPL mid-priced midfielders</strong></a> are under the microscope.</p>
<p>I reckon it&#8217;s because he never <em>looks </em>like a player capable of scoring 156 FPL points. Ward-Prowse is a notorious over-achiever: his <strong>xA (expected assists)</strong> and <strong>xG (expected goals)</strong> were both substantially lower than his actual tallies last season.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not because he&#8217;s lucky, though. It&#8217;s because he&#8217;s <strong>no stranger to the sublime</strong>. Last season he moved up to 12th in the Premier League&#8217;s <strong>all-time direct free-kick scorers</strong>. And he&#8217;s only 26.</p>
<p>As he moves into the peak of his playing career, Ward-Prowse seems to be getting better every season. At <strong>£6.5m</strong> and <strong>just 8% owned</strong>, he represents an <strong>interesting FPL differential</strong> who is guaranteed to play a big part in <strong>Southampton&#8217;s 2021/22 campaign</strong>.</p>

<h2>The Best Southampton FPL Players | Che Adams (FOR &#8211; £7.0m)</h2>
<p>Whisper it, but <strong>Che Adams</strong> actually scored more points than <strong>Danny Ings (£8.0m)</strong> last season. In fairness to Ings, Adams enjoyed about <strong>500 extra minutes of play</strong>, which makes the six point difference between them look fairly meek.</p>
<p>It would be easy to look at their numbers and deduce that Ings is the better option for <strong>£1.0m extra</strong>. Whilst his future at <strong>Southampton</strong> remains in doubt, it&#8217;s likely that wherever he ends up, he&#8217;s going to score plenty of goals.</p>
<p>But hold your horses. There&#8217;s a reason <strong>Ings played less minutes than Adams last season; </strong>it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s very injury-prone. In Adams, Southampton have a far more robust forward, creative enough to get <strong>seven assists last season</strong> and clinical enough to score <strong>nine goals</strong>. He featured in 36 of Southampton&#8217;s 38 <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>Premier League fixtures</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Anyone who owned Adams in the 2020/21 campaign will speak of their frequent frustration with the Scotsman. Adams was brilliant at <em>looking</em> like he was going to return, but regularly fell short. This is reflected in his <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/htw-fpl-part4-2/"><strong>underlying stats</strong></a><strong>: </strong>he had an <strong>xG of 12.12</strong>.</p>
<p>That makes him one of last campaign&#8217;s <strong>biggest under-performers</strong>.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that what <strong>the best FPL managers</strong> should be looking for, though? Our aim is to find the <strong>best value FPL players, </strong>and those tend to be the ones brimming with unrealised talent and potential.</p>
<p>Make no mistake: people at Southampton know how good Adams can be. Only two <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-mid-priced-forwards/"><strong>forwards under £7.5m</strong></a> &#8211; <strong>Ollie Watkins (£7.5m)</strong> and <strong>Chris Wood (£7.0m)</strong> &#8211; scored more <strong>FPL points</strong> than him last season.</p>
<p>But with an <strong>ownership of just 1.4%</strong>, the <strong>24-year-old </strong>clearly has plenty more to prove in the eyes of <strong>FPL managers</strong>. This might just be the season he does it.</p>

<h2>The Best Southampton FPL Players | Nathan Tella (MID &#8211; £5.0m)</h2>
<p><strong>Nathan Tella </strong>is already being touted as an <strong>heir to Danny Ings </strong>should <strong>the Saints&#8217;</strong> talisman depart.</p>
<p>A bit-part player during the second-half of the season, the 22-year-old is another that could yet become <strong>one of Southampton&#8217;s key assets in the 2021/22 campaign</strong>.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s got some way to go. Scoring a respectable <strong>4.5 points per game </strong>across <strong>735 Premier League minutes</strong> last season, Tella did enough to ensure he had a consistent role in Southampton&#8217;s run-in.</p>
<p>The highlight was<strong> a goal and assist</strong> against <strong>Fulham</strong> in a 32-minute cameo. It was enough to give us a glimpse of what the youngster is truly capable of: he has the ability to change games.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s <strong>priced at £5.0m</strong> for a reason. Tella is very much unproven, and his value will be determined by the chances <strong>Hasenhüttl </strong>affords him.</p>
<p>If he&#8217;s given regular playing time, he could well prove to be worth the <strong>extra £0.5m</strong> over more rudimentary <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-budget-midfielders/"><strong>£4.5m midfield options</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Tella is an FPL pick for the mavericks. He deserves to be amongst <strong>Southampton&#8217;s best FPL players</strong> not because of what he&#8217;s accomplished so far, but because of what he might accomplish in seasons to come.</p>
