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

    Play Lundstram, Deondocker or King?

    1. BobbyV
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      King...he may get a penalty

    2. Triple P
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      When in doubt, I always play the most advanced playing one. So King

    3. MTPockets

      Same issue - on reverse order to that atm

      Same issue here - on Dendonk currently could change

  2. Galza

    Just played around with making a possible W/C team.

    Current team...
    Pope
    AWB / VVD / Montoya
    Salah / Sterling / Martial / Perez
    King / Kane / Wesley

    Button / Dendonk / Mings / Lundstram

    W/C team...
    Pope
    AWB / VVD / KWP
    Sterling / KDB / Martial / Ceballos
    Firmino / Kane / Pukki

    Button / Dendonk / Lundstram / Kelly

    Exact money for this...!

    Should I pull the trigger now, so I don’t risk not being able to afford it...??

    I really like the look of it...

    1. Triple P
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      I wouldnt WC that team tbh... got any FT left?

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

        No FTs unfortunately.
        Was just seeing what I could come up with.
        Have a few players in my team that I don’t really want and could drop in price, which would mean I couldn’t afford this W/C.
        Add into that some of the players likely to go up...

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

          You can come up a much better WC team than that I'm Sure.

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

            I just like the feel of it.
            Flexibility in pretty much all areas..

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years

      Do it! YOLO

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

        The old me, who usually starts bad, would of already done it.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Prefer your current team

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

        I don’t hate it, I just feel that I could get stuck with some deadwood...

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

          Likely around 30 GWs until you will next use a WC - I'd hold for now until my team needs it more if it was me.

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

            You could be right.
            I just look at that team and prefer it to what I have and the fact that it’s exact money would mean that I would have to move quick.
            Not only are some of my current players due a fall, but some of those in my W/C could still rise.
            Tough one....

    4. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Quite like. Good balance and preferable to the very big mid template emerging imo. That’s code of course for saying I have a variation of this 😉

      Ceballos could be gold but Emery makes me think he’s a wait and see.

      Kwp - Poch problem with resting wingbacks.

      Like Firmino call as something different. Makes sense to me as a potential placeholder for Haller Wilson Vardy etc.

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

        That’s what I was aiming for.
        KWP can easily be switched out. Got the mighty Lundstram to cover any resting. Ty

    5. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Price rises/drops forced my hand

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

        My intentions were to hold off.
        It would of meant that I wouldn’t of been able to get this.
        Oh yeah...... I pushed it 😉

    6. droginexile
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      In my opinion KWP and Ceballos are too much of a rotatiion risk, Firmino is not enough Liverpool cover and Pukki can only regress. Maybe take a -4 and swap out Wesley and Perez. I wouldnt wildcard that original team.

  3. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    A) Zinchenko, AWB, KWP (Lundstram, Cantwell, and Kelly rotate for 1 spot)
    B) Zinchenko, AWB (Soyuncu, Dunk, Lundstram, and Cantwell rotate for 2 spots)

    A or B lads?

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

      B

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      B

  4. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    probably my worst start ever so need some advice here.

    Heaton
    Coleman VVD Robertson Zinchenko
    Fraser Salah Sterling Perez
    Vardy King

    Button Lundstram dendoncker greenwood

    thinking fraser, king and perez > martial, jota and mount -4, sounds good ?.

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Not Jota.
      Cant you afford Pukki or Barnes?

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

        wolves fixtures looks good, jota is class

    2. Triple P
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Keep king, saves you 4 points

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

        true

    3. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      I'd probably just skip Jota. Fraser and Perez out sounds decent. Players I'd target there are Martial and KDB whichever you'd prefer. Or one option could be Vardy, Fraser and Perez -> Pukki, Martial and KDB?

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

        cant afford that

      2. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Oh sry miscalculated cash

  5. thomashl

    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    KDB-GATE

    On WC, trying to fit KdB in. I just don't know if it's worth the sacrifices in defense, look at this – it's basically:

    Digne VvD McGinn --> Zinchenko 4.5 KdB

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      WC team:

      Pope
      AWB VvD Digne KWP Lundstram
      McGinn Salah Sterling Martial Dendo
      Pukki Kane Greenwood

      0.2 itb

    Best 5.0m DEF to bring in this week?

    A) KWP - good fixtures but may get benched once Aurier/Foyth returns
    B) Zouma - great fixtures but may get benched once Rudiger returns
    C) Boly - nailed, mixed fixtures
    D) Holebas - mixed fixtures, on set pieces.
    E) Someone else

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

      nah, save 0.5m and get a 4.5m

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

        Think I agree with you! Had an ok start but quite a few fires to put out here - whatcha reckon?

        Ryan
        TAA, Robbo, Digne, Coleman, Zinchenko
        Salah, Sterling, Perez
        Wilson, King

        Button, Barkley, Deondocker, Martinelli
        Bank 0.0m, 2FT

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

          get pukki

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

            Stats are good, but 3 away games + CHE/MCY in the next 5 is putting me off. Could be wrong but don't see much there.

            1. thomashl
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 days ago

              Chelsea has a quite obliging defense, so that fix doesn't really worry me. He managed 3 shots at Anfield (averaged 3 shots a game in the Championship) and 9 shots at Newcastle. At West Ham he'll probably knick a goal at least

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Soyuncu and save the £ ?

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

        Not a bad shout, although fixtures aren't great.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      I don't really like the 5.0m tbh. I would go for a 4.5m and bank that 0.5m which will be useful next week surely.
      If I had to choose, Boly is the best option for me.

    I am a Gooner and yet I will be cheering for Spurs this weekend.

    Toby, Lucas and Harry do your thing and for this week only please smash it!

    Gotta love how FPL becomes bigger than club loyalty

      My in-laws ate huge gooners and you’d be hung, drawn and quartered for talk like that.

      I def wouldn’t be saying that for MCI, EVE or MUN.

      Disgusting behaviour.

  8. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    To fund Dendoncker-> Mount, what move is better:

    A) Wilson -> Kean
    B) Robbo-> AWB

    1. cuppatea78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      B possibly but neither move is great in order just to get Mount IMO.

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

      “... To fund Dendoncker-> Mount ...”. Do you see Mount as nailed?

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

      B

    4. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
      • 14 Years

      Thanks all. And yes see Mount nailed and pivotal in his role with great fixtures ahead

          Yep can find my team but need the mini league ID to add people.

  10. cuppatea78
    • 13 Years

    Who to buy, Dendonker or Cantwell?

    1. el polako

      Be brave - Cantwell

      1. cuppatea78

        7 years, 3 days ago

        I brought him in for Dendonker but was questioning my decision. Think I'll stick with him!! Thanks

      Definitely a possibility but reckon Jesus may get more mins this season. Even last season, he seemed like he was gonna break through but kept getting injured.

  12. amitmishr
    • 11 Years

    A is a waste till Kean plays 90 minutes atleast once.
    B could be ok, but robbo can be explosive

    Is Team Value worth considering when making potential transfers and does it prevent any of you from making one? For instance, would team value and player price rises stop you from getting in a player who you sense may be on the up for a player in your current squad that has rises say £0.6m since you have owned him?

    Just intrigued to no other peoples thoughts on this, my team value is currently £100.9m, but it means i've been fortunate enough to get players in that have risen sharply and likely that those same players are getting snapped up by other players.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 days ago

      It's a consideration but doesn't trump potential for excess points

    2. International Richard
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Hard to say. What I do know is .1 increase in a prospective transfer can really limit your options

  16. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Morning guys. Took a hit to get here:

    Heaton
    TAA, Van Dijk, Zinchenko, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, McGinn, KDB
    Pukki, King

    subs: Pope --- Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    Probably decent enough to skip wildcarding into coming weeks? although no Martial or Spurs doesn't look too good tbh :/

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

      Way to much funds in defenders

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        You're right. Will change that in the coming weeks. If I don't wildcard straight away

  17. The_Fish
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Would you wildcard this?

    Henderson 4.0
    TAA Robbo Digne Montoya Soyuncu
    Salah Sterling Martial Ceballos Dendoncker
    Vardy King Greenwood

    Pope, AWB, KDB, Pukki, Lundstram are all players I'm keen on.

    0ft, 0.4itb

      Nah

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      No, 2 or 3 transfers would sort that team out

    Morning chaps

    Tempted to WC this lot. What you reckon?

    Thinking about a MUN attacker this week - Martial or Rashford and why?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Martial, cheaper, playing no9 and more pts for goals

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        and clean sheets

      I dunno, I still prefer their def's for 2m less.

    3. Jönny

      I've gone Rashford. But really only because I don't currently have a midfield slot for Martial.

  24. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I really want to upgrade Perez to Martial but to make the move I need to downgrade either
    A) Salah to Mane
    B) Robbo to Azpilicueta (or other for 6mill)
    C) Laporte to Zinchenko
    D) None and keep Perez

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Salah to Mane is a good move.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      A

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

      A/ that's how done the move lastnight

    4. Wolfman180

      7 years, 3 days ago

      Thanks
      Mane in recent games wins on the eye test for me, always looks the more likely to score, but it's the fear of Salah grabbing a brace and him being so highly owned that's making me cautious... although saying that Mane is also capable of doing the same

    After 2 mediocre gameweeks I'm considering wild carding this week.

    Current team of.

    Pope - Heaton
    Montoya - TAA - Mee - Rico - KWP
    Dendocke - Trossard - Salah - Martial - BSilva
    Kane - Wilson - Haller

    Don't know whether to hold a couple of weeks to get a better lie of the land or risk playing catch up all season.

    Thoughts appreciated

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      4 transfer roughly required. I'd probably WC

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

        came to the same conclusion whilst tinkering

    2. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Mad to wildcard that team, IMO. Wait for pressers, but if you transfer out one of Wilson/Haller (or both maybe for a hit) then you've got a solid first 11 this week.

      There's really nothing much wrong with that team, other than a lack of Sterling.

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

        The lack of Sterling and having to chase points is worrying me.

        I've pulled the trigger.

        Wish me luck

    It's looking more like Digne will miss this week doesn't it.

    They play on Friday, still no reports of a scan, not spotted in training. Local reports talk only of how Baines has stepped up his recovery and in contention to replace digne.

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Saw that as well. Will move him to Zinchenko on WC if confirmed

  27. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    On WC:

    Any reason to keep Dendoncker or move him to Cantwell?

    (have Pukki)

  28. theswallow1965
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    If Digne doesn't feature this GW, who as first sub?

    Greenwood (CRY H)
    Soyuncu (SHU A) Better chance of playing

    Or just move Digne on (I have 1 FT but £0 itb)

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

      Soyuncu. Don't sell Digne even if he were to miss this gameweek.

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

      Soy- depends how long Digne might be out - and of course we don’t know yet and may be fine for Friday. Also international break in 2 weeks

  29. aapoman

    7 years, 3 days ago

    How do I get KDB? Only way I see is downgrading TAA and Wilson and upgrading Perez. Or are there other players I should make a move on?

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

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

      is this a wc?

      Sell Salah/Wilson/Robbo

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

        It is not a WC

    I have a Tammy Abraham-sized problem in my forward ward line. Rashford and Wilson are my other 2 strikers. Should I bring Moise Kean as my third striker? Do you guys rate him?

    1. Party time
      7 years, 3 days ago

      No because You won't want a Moise Kean sized problem

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        He looks the business though Luizdouzi.

        1. Party time
          7 years, 3 days ago

          He needs to get more nailed. Also found out he is just 19. I don't know if he has the attributes to start firing at all cylinders straight away!
