How good are Pukki’s upcoming fixtures after hat-trick heroics?

Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) has already taken FPL by storm, scoring four goals in his first two Premier League matches.

Fantasy managers are flocking to sign the Norwich forward, with a third price rise of the season occurring overnight.

The hat-trick scored against Newcastle in Gameweek 2 sent the demand for Pukki into overdrive, but his new owners were clearly also impressed with his ability to score even at Anfield in Gameweek 1.

However, there are still some who are a little concerned about Norwich’s upcoming fixtures.

So we’ve analysed the numbers recorded so far this season to test whether or not Pukki is a sensible signing for Gameweek 3.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

Have Pukki’s underlying statistics been good?

Lessons learned from Gameweek 2

    How about this wc team? No Liverpool defense and KDB but you can’t have them all.

    Patricio
    Zinchenko AWB Digne
    Sterling Mane Martial Trossard Mount
    Kane Pukki
    Button Soncu Lundstram Wickham

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      No to Patricio, go Pope or Ryan or Heaton or Henderson

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

        agreed

    2. KDB4PREZ

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No KdB is a no-go from me.

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sold. I would get Lanzini and Mcginn for trossard and mount

  2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    On a WC, pick 2
    A) Zinchenko

    5. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys. Am currently on BC because not sure if A is nailed but looks like its unanimous

  3. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If you are to choose between these 2, who would you go for?

    1) AWB
    2) Maguire

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      1

    2. Thunder Warrior
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      AWB

    3. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      AWB

    4. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      1

    5. West Hammered
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’m thinking Maguire, watching the game on Monday every set piece was aimed straight for his head could see a few goals/assists soon.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Was thinking the same. Maguire has better goal/assist ratio based on last season.

      2. ENZO SZN™
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        But last season he had Maddison to deliver.

    6. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      2

  4. rizla86

    Trying to finalise wildcard team. Which do you prefer

    A.
    Heaton Pope
    Zinchenko Coleman AWB Kelly Lundstram
    Mane Son KDB Martial Ceballos
    Kane Pukki Wickham

    or

    B.
    Heaton Pope
    Zinchenko Zouma AWB Kelly Lundstram
    Mane Ndombele KDB Martial Ceballos
    Kane Auba Wickham

    Is Ndombele a good long term prospect?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      on a wildcard and not getting Sterling?
      thats brave

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        fine line between brave and stupid

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That said, A is still a very good team. Mina over coleman imo

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Why?

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Mina nailed, looks like he will get baps and has a great arial threat for siggy set pieces (If you remember the world cup)

      2. rizla86
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It's either KDB plus Son or Sterling plus 6.4 (Ndombele/mount). The former looks better for the long term. May use Son as placeholder for Pepe

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Glad I'm not the only one waiting to bring Pepe in

          Love how Unai is slowly integrating him in, both helping him as a player and helping me keep others off him... Ahead of that GW5 run. The price drop was even more welcome

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            KDB still better than a first season winger even if he is world class

  5. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Best move?

    a) Perez > KDB
    b) Perez > Martial
    c) Wilson > Kane

    If the Chelsk defense wasn't so great I'd captain Pukki again.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Personally think he will score

  10. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Gtg? 0ft/0.2itb. Decided against going all out for Son, hoping he doesn't punish.

    Heaton
    VVD, Digne, Montoya
    Sterling, KDB, Martial, Lanzini, Mount
    Kane(C), Rashford

    Button, Diop, Greenwood, Rico

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years

      Really solid

  11. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Got 2FT. Is Perez to Mount enough? Or any other suggestions? Hate that Mount rose yesterday...

    Pope (4.0)
    TAA Robbo Digne Zinchenko (Lundstram)
    Salah Sterling Martial Perez (Dendoncker)
    Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

    1. Vovhund
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I really like that team. Similar to mine after doing King to Jota after Wolves' EL-game. Only slight problem might be Perez, but I'm giving him the last chance vs Sheffield U. Perez to Mount sounds good. You could punt on Trossard as well

  12. Dutchy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pick 2 transfers

    Auba to Kane
    Jiménez to Pukki
    Moura to Martial

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      AB

      1. Dutchy
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Reasons on why not Moura?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Just prefer the other two, not convinced by ManU.
          Scared of rotation? AC then.

    2. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A and C probably for fixtures. Get Pukki the following week somehow

  13. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else afraid is too early for WC?

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Me. Also I personally hate wildcarding if I have 2fts.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not afraid but not using it yet. This week's bandwagons will be next week's discards at this early stage.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      There is no "too early\late" - use it when you think your team needs it.
      Simple really.

    6. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not afraid. Split my moves into hits: - 4 for GW2, - 4 for GW3 and I've corrected most preseason errors already, I think

      But if things were much worse, I'd have hit the button

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        -8 for GW3, sorry

  14. Clarity
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Currently on wc, would you remove one of kane/de bruyne to improve balance?

    Pope
    Mina, AWB, Söyüncü, Dunk
    Mane, Kdb, Sterling, Martial
    Kane, Pukki
    Bench: Button, Cantwell, Lundstram, Greenwood.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm on something similar but have Son over Mane and more money in defence.

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This is my team except I have KWP and Kelly instead of Soyu and Dunk. Oh and Wickam for greenwood and he might be the first choice at some stage. Needless to say, i really like it.

      The only think i am unsure of is Mina vs Zinchenko

      1. Clarity
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Like ur thinking with KWP..i cant decide about zinchenko

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          with only Kelly as backup some weeks i think Mina could be the safer option. but yeah could be either, i am swinging back and forth

    Do we think Robbo is going to price drop before Saturday?

      No

    Anyone know the extent of Haller injury? And do we fink chicarrito is a viable option he Haller out for an extended period of time?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He finished the game against City and early reports are optimistic so I hope he'd be back this week.

      Good

  18. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking about doing TAA to Walker and/or Jota to Barnes in coming weeks - what do you think?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      a BUR striker looks after wk4 - Wood may well be a possibility by then as well and cheaper

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you sell TAA when he plays against Burnley and Newcastle

  19. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Which do you guys prefer ?

    A. Ederson & Dunk
    B. Ryan & Zinchenko

    1. Mount
    2. Barnes
    3. Grealish

    1. RIDZ
      • 7 Years

      A2

  20. SpiritRising
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is anyone going without pukki? I am but I am very nervous about it. His stats are great but it's still early and he's still a relative unknown. Ashley Barnes has similar stats whilst proven FPL god Salah stats are currently awful. This just underlines the high variance which can exist in early season stats. I'll still be watching from behind the sofa but will take my chances that it's someone else's turn to shine this week. (Hopefully Salah).

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      salahs stats are not terrible

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        it is if you compare it to kdb, who is 3m cheaper

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'am and I'm Finnish. Feels like treason. But I'm pretty sure he can't keep scoring like this every week. If he does however I'm still happy because finally we have a top player in the Premier League.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Litmanen and Hyppia the only ones I can think of

        1. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Well yea but it's been soooo looooong

        This 😀

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years

      “... FPL god Salah stats are currently awful ...”. Which stats are you looking at?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        GA's
        Pen touches
        SoT
        BC

        ...and price

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Interesting. Are those stats from just this year or rolling 38 GWs (e.g., Opta R38)?

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            this year

    4. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I am going without him. Mainly because my tight Yorkshire blood won't allow me to pay £0.3m over the starting price.

    5. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Won't bring him in for the next 3-4 games atleast.
      If he still looks good after the City or Burnley game I will bring him in.

      If he is 7 or 7.1 at that point it is fine by me, but tbh I don't expect him to score many points in the next 3-4 games, and with his current price it will take a hit to bring him in. Can't see the point doing that with his fixtures unless you're doing all to maximize your TV.

  21. tvz32

    RMWCT

    Pope Button
    AWB Zinchenko Lundstram Montoya Soyuncu
    Mane Sterling KDB Martial Cantwell
    Kane Pukki Wickham

    Wanted to get 5 premiums into the team (Kane, Mane, Sterling, KDB, Martial) into the team.

    Have to play 2 out of Lundy, Montoya, Soyuncu and Cantwell every week.

    Feasible or too unbalanced?....thoughts are most welcomed

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Considered getting KWP and Kelly for Montoya and Soyu? the rest looks fantasic

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Looks good to me

    3. footballfreak
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      button to ryan
      montoya to dunk
      soyuncu to kelly
      wickham to greenwood
      other than that your team is same as mine..thought would go all out attack and change to good defenders later when pool get allison back in goal

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Have to play 2 out of Lundy, Montoya, Soyuncu and Cantwell every week.

      yes

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        which one goes?

        1. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          FAnderson

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      im getting him for Dilva

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      not for anderson.

  23. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any news on Digne? Reading a few tweets saying he is fine/trained.

    Kane or Son?

    with alli out injured can poch really afford to not play son, especially since hes had the asian cup as a pre season of sorts and yet still had a rest due to not playing the first 2 rounds of the season.

    that 1.5m really helps and i can see people bandwagoning in son if he matches or gets close to what kane gets against newcastle.

    1. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The problem if I get Kane is too many premium players I have (Salah+Sterling, Kane). But if I go without Salah, then Kane is a must.

      I'm with Son for now because I can't get 3 players above 10.0

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Easy, Son. He offers much more value (points/GBP) than Kane.

  25. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone waiting for presser to get Son? or wait until gw5?

    Pukki CHE (c)?

    1. MTPockets
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not for me

      • Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        nah, just happy to own.

      • Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        they did concede 4 vs utd tbf

      • ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        A big NO. Sterling/Kane much better captain choices. Even Salah/Mane ahead of him imo.

      • teddy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Tempting, but Bournemouth will probably concede a shedload. Maybe depends on whether you've had his goals so far or not.

      Holding back transfer until there is an update on Digne. Should he be out for more than 1 game best option to bring in between

      A Mina
      B AWB

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If he is out the AWB. Baines playing would weaken their defence.

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        if he is out for 1 game then best option is C: Use bench

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks-Yes I would have Diop as auto sub but I was asking if it was more long term

          1. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            He may even play this gameweek.

      3. RIDZ
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        B, but I will use bench if he only miss 1 game

      4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I am benching and will give at least 2 x GW as international break follows.....AND I have Lundy on the bench.....

    3. Kizza_10
      • 9 Years

      1. Sndeshdhkl
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        1. LangerznMash
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yup these are the top 3.

      2. Kuzser
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Mount Trossard Ceballos

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Trossard but possibly Cellabos after next couple of Arsenal games

      4. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You need players who will start matches. I have McGinn and Trossard.

        I am not sold on the likes of Mount and Cabellos.
