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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        agreed

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 7 Years

      Nice team

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      No KdB is a no-go from me.

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

  2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    On a WC, pick 2
    A) Zinchenko
    B) Mina
    C) AWB

    Thanks

      AB for me

    5. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      AC

      BC

  3. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

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

    1) AWB
    2) Maguire

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      1

    2. Thunder Warrior
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      AWB

    3. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      AWB

    4. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      1

    5. West Hammered
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

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

      2. ENZO SZN™
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        But last season he had Maddison to deliver.

    6. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      A

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      on a wildcard and not getting Sterling?
      thats brave

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        fine line between brave and stupid

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

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

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

            Why?

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 days 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
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 days 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
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 days 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
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

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

  5. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 days 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Personally think he will score

    2. George Sillett

          Good stuff. Won't be around much this weekend as daughter is going into hospital sparrows fart on Friday for a pretty major op but the rest of the gang will about in their masses.

    earliest ive made transfers in years! dont like it! but now I can stop checking stats and price rise percentages as non of it matters!

  10. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days 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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Really solid

  11. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 days 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
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Pick 2 transfers

    Auba to Kane
    Jiménez to Pukki
    Moura to Martial

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      AB

      1. Dutchy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Reasons on why not Moura?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

  13. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone else afraid is too early for WC?

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    4. jtreble

      International Breaks coming soon.

      lol

    6. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        -8 for GW3, sorry

  14. Clarity
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

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

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 days 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

  15. primal33

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

    1. KDB4PREZ

      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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

  17. Dr. Rog

    Pope 4
    Digne AwB Zinc 4 4
    Sterling Mane KdB Martial Mount
    Rash Pukki 4.5

    1. aapoman

      Good

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

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

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

  19. Kizza_10
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Which do you guys prefer ?

    A. Ederson & Dunk
    B. Ryan & Zinchenko

    1. Mount
    2. Barnes
    3. Grealish

    1. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      A2

  20. SpiritRising
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days 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
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      salahs stats are not terrible

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Litmanen and Hyppia the only ones I can think of

        1. aapoman
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

          Well yea but it's been soooo looooong

      2. KUNingas
        • 10 Years

        This 😀

    3. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        GA's
        Pen touches
        SoT
        BC

        ...and price

        1. jtreble
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

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

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

            this year

    4. LangerznMash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Looks good to me

    3. footballfreak
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Have to play 2 out of Lundy, Montoya, Soyuncu and Cantwell every week.
      I personally wouldnt want to commit to that.

  22. dbeck
    • 8 Years

    on the draft format, would you get Mount in for either Perez of F.Anderson?

    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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days 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
      • 9 Years

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

  25. RIDZ

    7 years, 3 days ago

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

    Pukki CHE (c)?

    1. MTPockets

      Not for me

    2. Christina.

      nah, just happy to own.

    3. Dr. Rog

      they did concede 4 vs utd tbf

    4. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

      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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

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

        1. ZeBestee
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

          He may even play this gameweek.

    3. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Kuzser

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Trossard but possibly Cellabos after next couple of Arsenal games

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

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

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