Why has Pukki’s FPL form dipped and should we sell him for Gameweek 9?

Fantasy Premier League managers have finally lost patience with Teemu Pukki (£7.1m).

Despite scoring 37 points in the first four Gameweeks of the campaign, the Norwich City striker has attacking returns in just one of his last five Premier League outings.

That has led to a significant drop in Pukki’s ownership ahead of Gameweek 9, 270,000+ managers selling him so far over the international break.

Not surprisingly, that makes the Finland international the most transferred-out player following Gameweek 8, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) sat behind him on 235,000+ sales.

However, 40.6% of Fantasy managers worldwide are still in possession of Pukki, while he was still the most popular forward in Gameweek 9 teams among the top 10,000 too.

With Norwich preparing for a trip to Bournemouth, who are not exactly famed for a solid defensive record, there will almost certainly be a large number of managers contemplating whether or not to give Pukki one more week.

We’ve taken a look at his underlying statistics over the first eight Gameweeks of the season to find out…

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.

What has happened to Pukki’s goal threat?

    man city and pool both have 7 games in the space of 21 days after the IB is it a wise decision to double or triple up on both teams attacks

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ignore the non PL and ECL games . They are irrelevant.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2FT and struggling with what to do, any suggestions appreciated:

    Ryan
    VVD Otamendi TAA
    KDB Cantwell Salah Sterling Mount
    Abraham Pukki

    Button Lundstram Kelly Greenwood

      Nice team, how’s your rank? I’ve done pukki to jimi with one of my FT for a little diff! Maybe you could downgrade defence and upgrade pukki to Wilson?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        186k at the moment, thinking VVD + Pukki -> Syouncu + Wilson

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid of Otamendi

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Crazy

      2. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Next 3 will surely outscore most

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          "Next 3 will surely outscore most " . Utter drivel. I can think of loads of players that will potentially outscore him over the next 3.

          1. DukeBen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Otamendi would only have to outscore half the competition to "outscore most".

            That seems fairly likely given City's quality compared to almost every other team. "Loads" of players could still outscore Otamendi and he'd still outscore most.

            With the next 3 opponents only 2 on the fixture difficulty ratings, it's not "drivel" at all.

      3. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No keep for next 3 gwks then sell after gw11

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Great team, Salah to Mane would be an upgrade and save you some cash. I'd keep Ota for next 3. I'm also keeping double pool defence. You could also to VVD to Robertson. Wouldn't want to be playing Cantwell every week, think I'd start Lundstram over him.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Salah to Mane isn't necessarily an upgrade.
        Otamendi is a shite choice imo.
        Double Pool defence a good decision by me.
        Cantwell v Lundstram 50/50.

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Was considering the same and the cantwelll flag has all but confirmed this decision

    4. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years

      This is exactly my team except salah taa greenwood -> mane lowton wilson

    Evening all. Hope you're having as much fun on this IB as me!?!?
    Would like your thoughts on the following pairing up front please.
    1.Firmino and Wilson/Pukki/Jimi
    2. Vardy and Wilson/Pukki/Jimi
    3. Aub and Pukki/Jimi
    Thanks all

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      2. Vardy wilson

      1. Rawslang
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate. I am swaying that way too but a bit worried about Auba as he has been so good and has good fixtures!
        Currently have Firmino and see he scored for Brazil last night too!

      2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy Wilson Abraham as good as it gets right now

      1. Rawslang
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Currently on Firmino Pukki and Abraham so Vardy and Wilson would be in for Firmino and Pukki 🙂

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        replace wilson with Auba/Kun and i agree.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          And how do you do that with the price differentials without completely ripping up the team ?

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

            Cheap defence.

  4. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who’s keeping Salah if confirmed fit??

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping all season unless long term injury hits

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Can't be bothered selling one big hitter who's blanking for another big hitter who's blanking.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Spot on.

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yup the hokey cokey has proven to not work in the past, man utd, SPURS aren’t necessarily difficult fixtures at the moment either

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            They are realistically easy tbh.

      2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This. Unless on WC for Mane or KDB

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping till the end.

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      People should sell him for Mane

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        lol

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years

        Utter crap.

    5. Sharkytect

      Yes

    6. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keeping

    7. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'll keep him unless I need and extra .5 or something. But it would take a lot for me to take him out. I'd only flip him for mane if I did just because Liv front 3 are as nailed as can be

  5. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Any changes here? £0.3

    Gazza/Button
    VVD/ Rico/ Lund/ Tomori/ Lowton
    KDB/ Mane/ Madison/ Mount/ Dend
    Aguero/ Vardy/ Tammy

    Defence too risky?

  6. Rawslang

    "Last season, we saw several Fulham attackers make a strong start to the campaign but eventually, they became mentally drained by the inability of the team to keep opponents out at the other end."

    Bit of an assumption, that

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Agree . It's subjective nonsense. The truth is just that they didn't get service because the rest of the team spent so much time defending in their own half.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Its an assumption but one that makes sense for anyone who has basic understanding of psychology. Losing the majority of games will demoralize the attackers for sure. Same thing happening with Allison's absence making the Pool defence worse. Its not that Allison would have saved all the shots Adrian concedes, but the mere knowledge that their GK is unreliable if called upon spreads nervousness through the defense.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Psychology has little to do with it. If a team spends long periods trying to defend the attack is starved of the ball. Very simple.

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pepe, I am going to keep a close eye over the next two GW's. Least he has had some returns lately. Would not touch him at this point but maybe just maybe he will pick it up.

    This will be my route out of having no City.

    Hoping Pepe can start to shine...

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If he weren’t so pricy I’d consider.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I jumped on him early (last week). Hoping for some double digit hauls soon.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        And how was he with that ? Rather uncomfortable I shouldn't wonerl

    3. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I agree....thinking him or Madison if son fails against Watford, or even if he doesn't to be honest.

    No Hope of KDB price fall, only hope is if Son rises in the east

  12. JamTart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A - Sterling and Jimenez
    B - Kun and maddison

    Jimi feels premature but could be good to get ahead. May be a bit of ffs hype though. Sterling hasn't been at the rqces recently for city though.

    Maddison would be nice to have for the fixture swing but I feel like they wont explode for those first few. But Kun is a good captain option for 10 and 11.

    1. gooner_112233445566

      B for me

          It's a stupid question anyway based on opinion.

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            well the fact you've taken your time to comment twice on a post you don't have an opinion on is 'stupid' 🙂

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I have been commenting elsewhere and FYI I voiced my opinion as it's a ridiculous subjective question with no correct answer. Get your facts right in future.

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

                buddy, how is it any different to asking...

                who to captain, Salah or Sterling?

                should I bench, Rico or Lundstram?

                should I wildcard to this, *insert term*

                All questions often put on this forum...

                1. George Sillett
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Think that the who will score more points questions in any given GW for player choices are ridiculous as nobody knows as is the case for captaincy and benching. Quite a few of these people return after a GW and blame the community for swaying them towards a pick if it doesn't work out. You take your picks and make your own choices . The advice on here as expected can be polar opposites and nobody can possibly claim to definitely know the answers. Opinions are frequently driven by illogical herd mentality.

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

                    So why are you even on this forum if you’re not interested in the thoughts / advice / opinions of the community?

                    1. George Sillett
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Because there are some posters whose opinion I value.

                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Further... I have rarely seen any posts ‘blaming’ the community for swaying their picks. Most of the community on here own their teams, the advice and opinions from the forum is purely to assist with decision making.

                      Get on here on match day evenings and I can guarantee that that you will find many blaming FFS members for their GW failings - it's very common I can assure you.

                        See below buddy, I know it’s the international break but we’re almost past halfway man

        2. FCSB
          • 8 Years

          exactly mate

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Both teams crap defence and reckon Pukki will get points as well as Wilson. Both to get a brace so will come down to bonus.

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

        agreed, could be a high score

          Tbh with you I think your question was a typical forum question, nothing up with it, but you can see from previous posting by Slouch that he regularly gets a bit irked and irritated by a lot of posts, is he the "guardian of good practice posts", because nearly every time I come on here he's moaning or sniping at someone's post, might not realize he's doing it, Slouchy if you read this, chill out man ffs!

            thanks CB, totally agree... it’s friYAY and he is super negative, was even throwing the ‘s’ word around... maybe he’s grumpy because it’s international break? cheer up slouchy

    Best 4.5 mid? Think I might punt on Alzate

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding

      Saka

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Stick with Dendoncker and save the 0.1 or find the 0.2 for Guendouzi, not Saka as he'll likely be making way for Lacazette next couple GW's so a transfer waiting to happen?

    Wc team...

    Pope mcgovern
    Taa, soy, rico, lund, kelly
    kdb, mount, Maddison, dendoncker, .....(a/b)
    Wilson, Abraham, ......(1/2)

    A) sterling
    B) mane

    1) aguero
    2) auba

    Currently thinking 1a for next 3 games, then bringing mane in for sterling or aguero

    1. gooner_112233445566
      • 4 Years

      If I have auba instead of aguero I can have pereira instead of soy?

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mane, Auba, Pereira and you've nailed the WC in my eyes as would be near identical to mine!! Only diffs is Ryan/Button as GK's and Guendouzi over Dendoncker.

      Nah, not for a hit. All those players you are shipping could score well this week. Just do one move and do the other two next week.

    McGuire 80m

    Now Maddison and Chilwell for 130m

    Just get Vardy too while your at it.

    Oh and bring Rooney back in that case too

      Your media over there in England hates us tbf and writes rubbish about us. Wouldn’t surprise me if Mcguire was more like 60m. And very much doubt we’ll be in for Maddison unless he can prove himself at a bigger team than the one he’s at. He’s got potential but probably still a stepping stone away yet

    Won't be long before non starting Rico and Kelly turn these WC teams to shite .

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I don’t understand what they’re all thinking

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That's the point - there's no thinking just copying . The scramble to get in double Pool defence wil be very amusing.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I’ve just secured my plan to get the TAA + Robbo double yo right on time with a transfer spare I feel very well prepared

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I've been prepared for a few weeks now. No transfers needed. Next 3 games are gifts from the PL fixture makers

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah wouldn’t mind having it now tbh. Soon as Trossard is back Dilva no longer has to stink my team out, not sure what I was expecting from that one but I guess 4PPG from him is okay considering how poo these last few weeks have been even for premiums. Excited to have a defence with no otamendi

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Otamendi is probably one of the most shite premium def picks in the game. Wouldn't be surprised if he is the one dropped for Stones. Like Trossard.

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Am happy with 4.5 PPG for 5.5m tho. Probably about as excepted it just happened in a weird way. How’ve you started the season?

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    50k OR not great not bad. TBH my team has been boring as sin. How about you ?

                    1. Ask Yourself
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Tried to have a bit of fun but also been a pretty boring season, my rank also being inside top 50k is what’s keeping me going so far. Couple of punts paying off, couple not. Rotation period is when we can kill off the poor planners though looking forward to that

                      1. George Sillett
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        10 or 20 points makes a huge difference to OR at this stage. I tend to get to GW30 , get completely bored and do loads of hits just to spice things up . Last season GW30 20K OR , GW38 220K. ☺

                      2. Ask Yourself
                        • 7 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        Similar story here since I started using this place properly. The DGW planning gave me the motivation to carry on but the bleak, mediocre ending left me questioning why I ever played this game so did the same sort

                      3. George Sillett
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        I devote my attention from November onwards to gambling on the jumps season . Priority wise FPL gets its rightful place then. Cheltenham and Aintree are very time consuming. ☺ as well as the rest of the season.

    2. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      What makes you think Rico will be a non-starter?
      He's their best left back, the fans are starting to like him and he won player of the month.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Look at what Eddie Howe has said about his potential replacement.

        1. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          "We like him a lot but this is really useful time for him to learn and develop himself while he’s not in the starting XI, so he becomes the complete player."
          Doesn't ring any alarm bells for me, sounds more like he needs time to develop.
          He also said that Rico is growing in confidence. So seems a bit odd to then drop him?

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Got a mate who's a Bournemouth season ticket holder. He reckons it's only a matter of time before Rico gets the boot.

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                What do you expect howe to say?
                Those fans are definitely wrong as he gives the ball away for fun in his own half, he’s very lucky it hasn’t resulted in a goal yet so that everyone would notice

              2. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Love this kind of stuff. Look at how much they value the replacement rather than just posting stuff to reinforce your pick.

                1. Wılly
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  I quoted the article on Lloyd Kelly before that, yes they rate him and think he will have a great future but the part that sticks out is that they want him to learn and develop himself

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Rico is one bad perforance away from being dropped. Trust me.

                    1. Wılly
                      • 10 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      And maybe you're right but that doesn't mean he's a bad FPL option. At 4.1m, he has a lot of upside despite being a Bournemouth defender.

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Omg did he actually he really has been shite every time I watched them he just takes a few set pieces which Wilson or Fraser cam do just as well

  23. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Would you do A or B here?

    A VVD Wickham to Rico Wilson
    B VVD Cantwell to Soyu Maddison

    Cheers

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Neither . Just get rid of Wickham.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think the VVD downgrade funds Wickham.
        What is the rest of your defence Kyrgios?

              • 7 Years

              AWB and who? Ota?

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Yes

          2. Wılly
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            If you're going 3 at the back, I'd opt for A otherwise B.
            I take it there is no way to do AWB & Cantwell to Rico Maddison?

            1. Henryyy

      November and February

    Thinking of doing Cantwell > Maddison and Pukki > Wilson for a -4. Then I'll do Sterling > KDB for GW10. What do you think?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

        Lol

    2. Wılly
      • 10 Years

      Feel like the Pukki to Wilson for a hit could easily sting you, I'd probably opt for one of those moves instead of them both

      Vardy best pick of the 4, Yarmolenko not sold on. Vardy could go on a hot streak.

      Could also be a massive fail. Kun could outscore Kane for example.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        Risky, no doubt

      I’ve tried and failed the Kane captain root and he continues to fk me dry

      Please please please just go Kun and save the transfer (cue Kane haul)
