James Michael Edward Ward-Prowse
Central · Southampton · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 183 appearances, 34 goals and 27 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Southampton — Season rating 71, 9 goals and 4 assists in 38 games. 2022/23 was the leap — Season rating up 19 points at Southampton. Form has slipped 34 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 56 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±23 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
