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?

    Play Lundstram, Deondocker or King?

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

      King...he may get a penalty

    2. Triple P

      4 years, 7 months ago

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

        Same issue here - on Dendonk currently could change

      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
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months 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
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

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

            1. The Wanton Trader
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah

        Do it! YOLO

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

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

      3. Now I'm Panicking

        Prefer your current team

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

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

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months 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. The Wanton Trader
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months 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. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months 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. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

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

        Price rises/drops forced my hand

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months 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
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months 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.

    5. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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
        • 5 Years

        B

        B

    6. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months 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. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not Jota.
        Cant you afford Pukki or Barnes?

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          wolves fixtures looks good, jota is class

      2. Triple P
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Keep king, saves you 4 points

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          true

      3. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months 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
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          cant afford that

      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
        • 7 Years

        WC team:

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

      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.
        • 14 Years

        nah, save 0.5m and get a 4.5m

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months 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

            • 14 Years

            get pukki

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

        Soyuncu and save the £ ?

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

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

      3. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months 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.

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

    10. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      1. cuppatea78
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

      3. Shineonme

        B

      4. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…

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

          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.

        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
            4 years, 7 months ago

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

            • 13 Years

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

          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 :/

            Way to much funds in defenders

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

        3. The_Fish

          4 years, 7 months 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.

            No, 2 or 3 transfers would sort that team out

          Wish I’d hit the wc last night as missed a few price changes but still might do it. What’s 0.2 or 0.3 in long run!

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

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

            Martial, cheaper, playing no9 and more pts for goals

            1. The Man Pastore
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              and clean sheets

            • 14 Years

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

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

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

        10. Wolfman180
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          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
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Salah to Mane is a good move.

          2. Rasping Drive

            • 14 Years

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

            A/ that's how done the move lastnight

          4. Wolfman180
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months 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

        11. BHA_Seagull
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          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
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            4 transfer roughly required. I'd probably WC

            1. BHA_Seagull
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              came to the same conclusion whilst tinkering

          2. Jönny
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months 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
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months 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.

            • 7 Years

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

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

          On WC:

          Any reason to keep Dendoncker or move him to Cantwell?

          (have Pukki)

        14. theswallow1965
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months 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
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

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

          2. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months 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

        15. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months 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)

            is this a wc?

            Sell Salah/Wilson/Robbo

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

              It is not a WC

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

          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
              4 years, 7 months ago

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

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years

                He looks the business though Luizdouzi.

                1. Party time
                    4 years, 7 months 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!
