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?

    Better option out of these on wildcard?

    A) VVD/Laporte & Barnes
    B) Soyuncu/Montoya & Rashford (have Martial)

    Currently on A but could sell one of VVD/Laporte for 4.5m def to upgrade Barnes to Rashford.

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      so the question is
      B) VVD/ Laporte + Soyuncu/Montoya & Rashford

      The way you say it currently makes it an easy A

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        But my answer is B, Laporte, Montoya and Rash

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          That would mean no Liverpool def.

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            VVD would mean no city def im assuming?

            1. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yes thats right will have to go without Pool or City def to get Rashy.
              Its just that Rashford doesnt feel worth the 2m extra over Barnes.
              Already have Martial & AWB from United.

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

      Don't "upgrade" Barnes without checking the members page first for stats

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I saw that. On par or better than Salah, Sterling, Pukki, Kane for goal threat and good fixtures to come.

        Really not sure if its worth paying 2m extra for Rash.

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

          Also, the gulf in expected returns between Laporte/VVD and Montoya/Soyuncu as against the expected difference between Barnes and Rashford according to stats, long term fixtures and even returns so far (especially with Martial positioned centrally and Rash on the wing) makes me suggest closing all FPL-related tabs and apps until the deadline

          If you started with Barnes, you hit gold. Why even consider a switch? Maybe get Martial in the your midfield for Man U's fixtures if you're so inclined

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

            You already have Martial, ffs

          2. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I agree with that Laporte & VVD look good enough to hit 175 points.
            Actually I didnt start with Barnes im on wildcard.
            Already got Martial & AWB for United cover.

    3. dunas_dog

    Villa to keep CS against Everton and "on another day he would haul" Siggy ?

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

      That's great as long as Everton keep a clean sheet as well.

    2. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Could be on the cards

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

      Lmao. This could so easily happen

      Being a Siggy owner has always been a test of patience though. Yet he somehow ticks over

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        agree with this, but sadly I am not a patient man..........

  7. Fire Chief Moe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    There's a new team called West?

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

    This is my WC team...

    Pope
    Lundstram, AWB, Zinchenko
    Ceballos, KDB, Sterling, Mane, Martial
    Pukki, Kane

    Only playing subs are Kelly/Hanley - worth going for it?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Very similar to mine

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Mina for Zinchenko in your situation. Mina will play most games if not all

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mina is not the best 5.5 Everton pick imo in the long run. More attacking output opportunities with Coleman.

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Sidibe lurking though. And if you played world cup fantasy you would remember Mina

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Still not convinced . From Everton def Digne all day long for me for the extra 0.5M. Fantasy WC has no bearing on FPL.

      2. mcgrejam
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I had Mina...think i’ll put him back in.

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd rather not include Zinchenko on a WC. Get a cheaper defender and upgrade subs

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hey Hansel do you think Mina is good on a WC?

        1. mcgrejam
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Mina has amazing fixtures plus 4 bonus points in two games so defo could be worth it. Just worried Zinchenko will be rotated...

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            And one of the best arial goal threats for a defender

        2. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Looks as a good pick but most already have Digne/Coleman and I'm unsure of a double up. Would probably get Coleman myself if I had to pick between him and Mina

    4. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lundstram every week? Zinchenko will be dropped in the future.

    Start Montoya (SOU), Lundstram (LEI) or Söyuncu (shu)? Currently have them in that order

    1. Bragazeti

      Montoya

  11. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC surely Son matches Mane/Salah the next 10 fixtures for 2.5/3.5m less. I'm going without Pool attack sack it

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son was rubbish at the end of last season

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

        I’d wait and see with him

  12. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Morning dzzz, for a change made some early transfers and now regretting it! Which team looks better - just to check if i made the right decision

    Pope Heaton
    Digne Vvd Zincheko XXX -- Rico
    Sterling Martial KDB XXX -- Dendocker
    King XXX -- Wickham

    A: TAA + 6.5m mid + Kane
    B: Lundstrum + Salah + Pukki

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B for me

  14. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Time for something different: RMWCT week 2!!!!

    Pope Button
    Robbo AWB Digne Lund Rico
    Mane Sterling Martial McGinn Dendo
    Kane Pukki Jota

    Very nearly went with KdB option over McGinn with minimal defence - which would have crushed it week 2 even more and anticipated all these week 3 WCs. Just don’t see that team balance being good for 16 weeks!!

    The one misstep seems to be Jota. Still happy to hold for a couple anyway. He was always a 2 mill cash itb player though. I’m waiting to see how to put that money into midfield and/or defence. Options are.

    A 6 mill mid plus 4.5 defender
    B City defender

    McGinn I still like over Ceballos for security of starts and fixed role in side. Time will tell. No thoughts of moving him in any time soon

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A for me if chose right ones

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

        Yep - agreed

        Thing with pretty much all the 6.0s and 4.5s is that they all seem punty right now. Idea was to give myself 2 more weeks data anyway before moving.

        Dubious that the universal Brighton 4.5 will hold up. Last season form and Potter defensive record make weeks 1 and 2 feel like outliers to me

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get Cantwell ahead of Dendo on wildcard surely

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

        Went last week!

        Not certain anyway. Cantwell did absolutely nothing in the Champo. Dendo is still the one with the PL track record.

        If I get a second Norwich I’m eyeing Buendia from Dendo with a 4.5 defender from Jota money.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      City def.

      Im on wildcard and im opting for City def & 4.5m over 6m mid and 4.5 def.

      Like you said all the players in those price brackets are punts right now.
      We haven't found the Fraser & Doherty of last season yet imo.

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

        Which City defender?

        If I go that way I’m thinking Ederson right now. I’d love Cancelo to put in an appearance and look settled at 5.5 but that seems a time off.

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Im between TAA & Zinch/Walker vs VVD & Laporte.
          Leaning towards the latter as they are way more nailed.

          Pope just seems too good value to turn down so Ederson is a no for me.
          Plus ill be more inclined to downgrading a def if I need money rather than a GK.

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

            Yep

            TAA Walker looks good and Pope feels sound given nature of Burnley defence.

            Vvd Laporte I slightly regret. But experience of last season puts me off. Had them both in good times and bad. Felt generally suboptimal and Laporte hauls fluky - I may be playing the wrong season of course 🙂

            1. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah I agree VVD & Laporte doesn't excite me much.

              Id love to have TAA & Walker. You think Walker is nailed?

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

                Nailed enough I think. He’ll miss one or two of course and there’s an easy switch to Cancelo if need be.

                It was between him or Digne for me. Just felt early on Digne looked better. Could yet make that switch in the next few weeks.

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

          Ederson would allow a 4.5 defender in place of Pope.

          Held long term - and this is an early WC so that matters- I’m thinking Ederson and 4.5 outscores 6.0 mid and 4.5

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I have Pope and a 4.5 mid.

            So im relying on the 6-6.5m def to outscore the 6m gk & 6m mid.

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

              That’s the system I’m on at the moment. Happy enough with it.

              I’d only go Ederson I suspect if Burnley look leaky when their fixtures turn AND City look very solid. That probably means no now I think about it

    hey guys, what to do with this lot (dont want to WC just yet, have 2 FTS)...

    Heaton Button
    VVD Robbo Rico Zouma AWB
    Sterling Salah Barkley Perez Dedeoncker
    Auba King Greenwood

    Was thinking of getting rid of Barkley + Rico or Zouma.. for Lunstram + someone else to replace barkley...

    1. footballfreak
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      what about downgrading robbo and upgrading barkley for martial

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        good shout mate, thansk,, So Robbo + Barkley to 5.2M defender + Martial...

  16. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not much talk about Mount. Looked good in the Chelsea v Leicester highlights. Is he going to keep his spot in the starting 11?

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

      imho he's one of the few Chelsea players who deserves to keep his place

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Unsure at the moment. The guy is class. It's only the rotation risk that puts most off

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

        Yep

        CHO due back soonish is what I’m waiting to see. Hard to see him not getting a place and that could impact midfield in general.

        1. Shaw must go on
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          does CHO plays in the middle??

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

            Nope - can’t see it

            But he’ll displace a wider player presumably and/or change the balance possibly. Might Pulisic become the ten of choice perhaps?

            Speculation only. It just feels like Chelsea are still in flux - waiting until sonething undeniable appears

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      People prioritizing Martial Son KDB ..

      I signed Mount I hope he does well and I will be ahead of the curve

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Forms good, can't see why he wouldn't start? Just keep an eye on the prices.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perez price bound to drop. KDB's price will rocket.

  22. RIDZ

    Perez+Wilson to Martial+Pukki for -4,

    yay or nay?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yay

    2. footballfreak
      • 4 Years

    Have no Spurs cover for this week. B Silva out for Son at -4 worth it?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If I knew son would start then probably yes

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

      I'm trying to get 3 x Spurs in... so it's a yes from me.

  24. Riders of Yohan

    Kane or Sterling for the armband and why?

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Close run thing but what is the point of even owning Kane if you're not going to captain him against a team who has just lost 3-0 to Norwich and is in disarray?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        His points without the captaincy.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You've missed the point completely.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Nope. I can say the same about Sterling. Why own Sterling if you won't captain him against Bournemouth? If you think Kane scores 13 points and Sterling scores 16, you ideally want to own both but captain Sterling.

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I believe that Newcastle are far worse than Bournemouth.

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Subjective. See comment below.

                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Lower xGA based primarily on stats included from Rafa's reign? Bruce is a new level of incompetence.
                  We will see come Sunday evening.

                  1. Cok3y5murf
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Why would anyone look at that? xGA from their first two games. Keep up.

        And a team whose players have apparently said they don't know what their positions are under Bruce.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          That team still has a lower xGA than Bournemouth despite having faced harder opposition in the first two weeks. And Sterling is better than Kane. There are arguments to both sides.

      RMT Tool says Sterling.

      Thanks all

    Looking to free up some funds with Robbo --> Mancity defender.
    Thinking it is between Laporte and Zinch.
    What's seems best?
    Robbo+Perez --> Laporte+Martial (0.1ITB)
    Robbo+Perez --> Zinch+Martial (1.1 ITB)

    Cheers

    Comes down to this on my WC

    A. AWB Mount Kane(C)
    B. Montoya KDB Rashford

    (Sterling will get captained if I go B this week)

    1. Quinnexx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      B

  27. Quinnexx

    Wildcard draft, any comments?

    Adrián, Ryan
    Wan-Bissaka, Otamendi, Walker-Peters, (Söyüncü, Lundstram)
    Sterling, De Bruyne, Martial, Mount/Trossard*, (Cantwell)
    Kane, Firmino, King

    *Can’t decide between Mount or Trossard?
    Weaknesses:
    No Salah/Mané, hedge with Firmino but still concerned.
    Otamendi: Can be transferred out if Stones fit...

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not a fan of no Salah or Mane

      1. Quinnexx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nor me if I’m honest. Will consider other sacrifices.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Adrian a wasted pick as he is soon a transfer out . Get Pope and a 4M. King is a poor pick . No Salah/Mane is way too risky.
      Better picks than Otamendi at the price.
      Sorry! Would be start again for me.

      1. Quinnexx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have Ryan on the bench to cover Adrián. Nonetheless, appreciate your honesty!
