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?

Lessons learned from Gameweek 8

    Lots of managers making early transfers and chasing value this week.

    It may be wise if you have two ft banked to hang onto one just in case someone comes back with a flag from the IB.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Risk and reward 🙂 am on WC so yes loads of early moves ...

    2. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Took a hit early. Not a smart move or ideal in any way but its done. Come what may.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If I didn’t have my WC I would never have made early moves. All you need is a couple of top picks to pick up a twinge or two and the team’s crocked

    4. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Used my 2ft early. If big injuries in ib I’m using wc.

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No risk if season is already over 😉

    Too late to the party. I called it weeks ago after their win over City while the commenters were blinded by recency bias.

      Yet you kept Pukki?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That's a different issue. Depends on the team. Had other priorities to take care of in my team first plus had value invested in him.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Could have sold for Chris Wood, King, Wesley or ings if you were that certain. Value isn't worth much if 2 pointers.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Other more important priorities means this would've needed a hit. Don't rate any of those players either. He's gone for Wilson this week.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Would have been very profitable.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Called him out as this season's Mitrovic a long time ago, never owned. Didnt really work out though because of how lucky bandwagoners got with overachieving hauls at the beginning.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          LOL

    2. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      In that post you also said Villa were toothless in attack, yet they scored 5 at Norwich 🙂

      We all get some calls right.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Watching the highlights, I can safely say that it was down to Norwich's shocking passive defending. Still maintain that Villa's only good attacking player is McGinn. Grealish and Wesley are donkeys.

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      You're so smart!

      1. Party time

        Thought you were smarter

  3. Magic Zico

    Folks, A. Aguero Wilson or B. Vardy Aubameyang? Thanks!

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero Vardy, but let’s say Aguero Wilson to answer your question

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Always money issue 🙂 cheers ...

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson and Vardy are the in thing

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I’m not an Auba fan for now so A of those. Would you have Maddison in that option?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Maddison in the team yes!

    4. KNOW IT ALL
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      in order, augero, auba, vardy, Wilson
      so 1st and 4th best or 2nd and 3rd 😀

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Aguerooooooooo Wilson

    6. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Prefer A myself.

    Current front 3 - Haller Pukki Wood

    Desired front 3 - Abraham Vardy Wilson

    2FT 0ITB

    Who to prioritise in and out?

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      by the time you make enough moves to get the extra 4M, you will need an additional 2M; and you'll want different players.

  5. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Almost bottomed. Any more replies to help my dilemma :)? (Cheers Amey for yours)

    With my current team on a -8, still debating whether to play the WC or save it a few weeks more for when more drastic changes needed.

    A) Current team:

    -8 0itb
    HEATON
    VVD, Soy, Rico
    Mané, KDB, Mount, STERLING
    VARDY, Abraham, Wilson
    (BUTTON) (Lunds, CANTWELL, KELLY)

    B) Potential WC team:

    0.7itb
    POPE
    TAA, Soy, TOMORI
    Mané, KDB, Mount, MADDISON
    KUN, Abraham, Wilson
    (MCGOVERN) (Rico, Lunds, DENDO)

    So far the consensus has been no need to ‘waste’ the WC now but looking at what I could have I’m not sure!!

    Appreciate your views, oh wise ones!

    1. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I prefer team A but would want TAA in. That looks pretty much impossible though with Rico in the starting XI
      Lol

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        The only way to get him if I dont play WC is to lose Sterling

  6. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Come on KDB!!! drop for once, you can do this

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Come on Kevin rise to 10.1

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Can you imagine the drama here if he gets a price rise this IB 😀
        I'd just grab some drink & enjoy !

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Here is what I think is gonna happen...He will start from the bench against palace, comes on at 59.2 minutes when city were down 1-0, limps off after 80 mins and out until further notice 🙂

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Lol
            You want everyone to burn 😀

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      i really don't think it's going to happen most of the early changes will be wildcards.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Wise words

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Twice would be nice but forget it 🙂

  7. Hitmonlee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone know if Pukki and Cantwell are due another drop?

    Want them out for Connolly and Maddison! Hate the IB!

    1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      check fpl statistics

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pukki on -80, Cantwell -28
      Transfers will dry up for about a week.

    3. Bring back Rafa
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think Pukki will drop but it will happen late. Cantwell should be okay

    2. Brosstan

      Belgium absolutely toothless without Kevin. Just like City, useless until hes back.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2-0?

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      San Marino proving the are a solid defensive unit in the first 25 mins of both half’s.

      Shame about the last 20mins of each half when they clearly switch off !!!! 😛

  9. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Imagine if you sold KDB and didn't leave any money itb to 1ft him back.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      yeah been there done that 🙂

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years

        Oooops

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      One of Salah or Sterling will make way so not bothered about his price.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Imagine if it’s an easy sell for the blanker sterling 🙂

  10. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Bought pukki at 6.9, current sale value is 7.0. If he drops again my sale value goes down to 6.9 right?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      yes

          • 6 Years

          I would honestly keep one more GW unless you need the 0.1.

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      you will lose 0.1 if he drops

      1. Rhodes your boat

        Thanks

  11. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Are people afraid to lose Sterling? I know I am...

    Although he is looking poor from the eye test, I feel he is gonna get those tap ins for a hattrick as soon as I get rid of him while my ML rivals still own him

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That’s what he does, similar to salah so just hold!

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      It’s not as if you can’t get him back.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I’m keeping because I’m sticking to a structure but I don’t think he benefits from playing on the left

    2. kidzac
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I am. Waiting for week 18 to use it. I feel that would be the best time to use it since I don't have anything major to worry about on my team.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        LFC blank week?

        1. kidzac
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah. Could also use it game week 19 to bring back pool players if I sell them. Plan currently is to have both salah and mane in week 12 vs City. Already shifted out haller for tammy last week so one less spot to worry about that week 18.

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            I am working towards a strong bench then I do not have to make three transfers to get my triple Pool back again. Can just play my bench 😉

            1. kidzac
              • 14 Years

              With the exception of Tierney, I think mine is quite solid too. lund targett ayew. Still with 1.6 itb to play with.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just do Haller to Wilson. If Pukki blanks again move him on for GW10.

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone going to consider Martial when he is 'fit' again? I just cannot see myself picking him and boom, ends up being flagged on on my bench 😮

        Only UTD I have owned is Greenwood and thank heavens he ain't wasting a spot on my bench anymore.

        Just reminding those who still have Martial or those thinking of getting him...

          Was with Walker and Digne, and we all saw how many points they gave me.

          Digne has gone

          Ota is on the chopping board

      At the beginnig my defence costs arount 25 milion maybe more. On my WC i don’t need this clean sheets

    Front three tinkering:
    1. Vardy / Aubameyang / Abraham
    2. C. Wilson / Vardy or Aubameyang / Abraham – leaving a bit more itb.
    3. C. Wilson / Vardy / Abraham – leaving even more itb.

    Which option would you prefer?

        Impossible to know....just not sure I trust arsenal and those fixtures are tougher than they look

      He won't play united every day

      1. Sotamendi84

        6 years, 9 months ago

            Meh

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I would go Dendo. Not much on offer at 4.5m.

      If he is he's still taking them for Newcastle.

    Lloris is a massive loss for Spurs but reckon they will find some form again. They still have a pretty good squad. I am keeping Aurier for attacing returns.

    Defences to stay away from obviously Norwich then Everton, Bournemouth, UTD, Watford, City, and Arsenal.

    Not one of these teams have a defender in the top 20!!!

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No he isn't. He's been pretty shite for over a year now. The rest of the Spurs defence has been piss poor too.

    2. I Member

      Is he really? Been very error prone over the last year or so.

    People actually pay 100£ a year for some spreadsheets and articles made by randoms who have had above average luck and therefore believe they have a skill advantage in this game? Absolutely LOL

      Pay £100 to let someone else manage your team for you,no thanks.

      One thing that is putting a bad taste in my mouth about the current fpl landscape is the blatant profiteering of gullible suckers for a free to play game.

      It is just not in the spirit of the game imo.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Here here. But it's the usual parasitic capitalism that is rife generally and whilst people are gullible enough to pay for it there will always be a market.

          Captilism works,especially for these pulling the strings.

          Like as if any of these self styled "fpl experts" will give you a personal service and help one win fpl above their own team is comical.

          We are all in competition at the end of the day and human nature would suggest these guys are more interested in helping themselves that some pleb that is after coughing up £100.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Yep and those coughing up either are very stupid or have more money than sense. The business model dream is to make heaps of cash from mugs who feel as though they are buying some valuable service in order to massage their egos. Nil cost , big returns. It's a virtual game FFS.

    Is there some bias against Aubamyang in the price changes? Had him all last season and he never went up. This season, he's been above 95% on FPL statistics pretty much every week, but still nailed to the 11M price.

    Hedge has been looking at if there's been a genuine drop off in clean sheets this season, and what it means for premium defences.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Attacking returns will make up points if no clean sheets. That is why I do not want to go too light at the back.

  29. Flynny

    Hi.....which 1 would you pick on wildcard please? Already got kdb and mane

    A....kun

    B....sterling

    C....auba

    Thanks

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I would not double up on City attack anymore. So probably Auba.

    Thoughts on my WC team??

    Pope (McGovern)
    Trent Söyüncü Lundstram (Diop) (Kelly)
    Sterling Mané KDB Maddison Mount
    Wilson Abraham Connolly

    1. George Sillett

      Shitty defence will sting you in the not too distant future.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That includes City defence 🙂

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          None of them either.

    2. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Diop shouldn't be there. If you don't have any value in Lundstram, he shouldn't be there, as your 5th defender is Kelly.
      Mid & Attack are your decisions.
