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?

Lessons learned from Gameweek 2

    I don't understand understand this Son love and getting him in without him kicking a ball this season and spurs not set on their formation. He scored 1 goal in the last 13 games last season and surely KDB and Martial warrant investment before Son even enters our thoughts.

    1. el polako

      I concur.

    2. BATISTUTA ®

      this

    3. Tsparkes10

      Huge differential. Easy switch to KDB or martial, amazing fixture and will be raring to score in first game of season imo.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Trouble I have is already have Martial and KDB and not too sure whether he will outperform either.

    4. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He is bad when he is fatigued, but he is fresh now and I can bet with anyone he will have double digit score in GW3

      People like a differential, what fun is the game if everyone has the same players

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

        Kane not going to be the same without Erikson.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years

      selective memories of his awesome run last season

    7. jsd202
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed, KDB has been on fire so far this season and Man City have a good run ahead. No way would I choose Son over KDB.

    8. Gregor

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Great fixture and low ownership though innit.

      Actually agree though, I think it’s one to watch though I guess that’s a bit dullard!

    9. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I got him in almost straight after he cam back training with the team after the Asian Games. Got his Everton haul in the bag and hit 11k. Good times.

    10. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      its proving hard to second guess Poch, he could even start Lamela and Moura this gw with Son coming in off the bench.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This

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

      He might not start. Lamela was Spurs MOM, after 2 good results he might be on the bench

    12. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I understand it but not really agree with it.
      Class act due back and was never injured.
      Playing Newcastle and saves Kane money.

      Probably a sub first game.

    13. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, good points. I think we could see Lamela becoming more and more important to the side this season.

    14. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Trust me, Poch loves his Son more than Moura.

      He'll start.

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What about Lamela? will he start?

        1. gergin
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Lamela is about Eriksen, not Son.

        2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'm not sure.

    15. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      40%+ own a 12,5m player that has 7 goals and 4 assists in his last 17 PL games. His goal involvement is less than 33% during this period. They even captain him most weeks.
      People do weird sh!t, no need to understand everyone's thought process.

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

        Guess that is Salah? Please remind me who the highest points scorer has been over the last 2 seasons?

    16. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've said this a few times, but Son's lack of returns towards the end of last season coincided with a general dip in Spurs form. If you back them to do well, he'll be involved. I'm also coming round to the idea of him starting. One win and one draw to start the season sounds good on paper, but Poch will know performances haven't been all that.

  2. mikeycee93
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Kane & Martial
    or
    B) Son & Rash

    Who scores more?

    1. FPL_JAAFAR
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The forwards

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Very even, but I think B the better investment $$$-wise.

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A by a mile

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

      Close, but I'd say A

  3. Lukakwho
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Could anyone suggest transfers? Want to bring in Rashy but can’t see an easy sacrifice with 0 ITB and 2FT.

    Ryan, Button

    Digne, Zinch, TAA, Robbo, Rico

    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Perez, Dendon

    Wilson, Jota Greenwood

    1. mikeycee93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perez to cebellos or mcginn and wilson to Rash

      OR Salah to mane and wilson to rash

      1. mikeycee93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Actually get rid of one of Robbo or AWB to Mina or AWB or Emerson and upgrade wilson

  4. Shelton91
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which one would you start out of Dendoncker, Lundy or Greenwood this week?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dendo, probably.

    2. FPL_JAAFAR
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dend

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

      Donkey

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

      Dendo

  5. Ginola14
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not been injured so will be match fit straight away, he's a huge upgrade on lamela or moura, can be explosive and score a brace out of nowhere, newc just got tonked by Norwich, and is one of the best attacking mids in the league, plus low ownership as previously mentioned

    1. Ginola14
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Fail

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

      you don't understand match fitness do you

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You think he's been sun lounging in training, he's missed 2 games.....

  6. Flying Dutchman
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best midfielder in 6.1 price range?

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

      Mount or Trossard

  7. Stu3y
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Rashford or Martial?

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

      Martial

    2. Ginola14
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rash more expensive but should be on pens

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      One of them is cheaper, gets points for CS and extra point for each goal.
      Also plays as nr.9

      Go with Rashford

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rash all day.

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

    So for anyone that didn’t see it earlier on in the day, this my W/C team...

    Pope
    AWB / VVD / KWP
    Sterling / KDB / Martial / Ceballos
    Firmino / Kane(c) / Pukki

    Button / Dendonk / Lundstram / Kelly

    Had exact money for this.

    A little different to most W/Cs I’ve seen, but I’d like to think that there’s a player at every price to get on any emerging band wagons, should I wish to do so...

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty template outside the Firmino pick. Wouldn’t pick him myself, but other than that it looks good.

      Might pick Shaw over AWB and some say Cantwell is a better 4.5 than Dendoncker.

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

        Never been a massive fan of Shaw tbh.
        Cantwell is 4.6 now unfortunately.
        Might get Douglas Luiz though.
        Ty

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not a big fan of Shaw myself. But he did get 11 baps, 1g and 5 assists in 2600 minutes last year compared to AWB 18 baps, 0g and 3 assists in 3100 minutes.
          Of course AWB theoretically plays for a better team, I’m just not sure he will match Shaw if both stay fit.
          GL !

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

            I think they’ll be much the much. I like what I’ve seen from AWB so far though...

    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it me or did Az actually say Firmino 'is always rubbish' on the scoutcast?

    😯

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Didn’t listen yet, but I don’t think Firmino has been a good FPL pick for a while now ...?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He's good in comparison to other strikers in his price point, he just isn't as popular because there's 3 better Liverpool options.

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

          Well there might room for him now, as defence double-up seems faltering.

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

      Tbf, he was in the FPL Team of the Season 2017/18. Last season was the first season he wasn't a good pick. Everyone writing him off too early.

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

      He is frustrating to own in FPL but great player otherwise.

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's not rubbish - just the (at best) 6th best Liverpool FPL assist, so isn't near anyone's team.

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

      I’m having a go on my w/c.
      Was him and KDB or Salah and some rubbish up front.
      Easy switch back if it doesn’t pay off.
      I think he could be good for some returns.

    6. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah there’s obviously a misunderstanding, Kante is a woeful FPL asset but arguably top 2/3 midfielders in the premier league, i firmly believe that Firmino’s Liverpools best player. But his consistent 160-180 point returns are eclipsed by Mane and Salah, returning 200+.

    7. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      firmino IS rubbish, same bilva, great footballer poor fpl asset

    8. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      There are some very good players that are bad FPL picks and exactly the opposite - if you are a football lover and you pkay and watch football regularly you will know what i am talking about. Thus said - Firmino is a great fotballer but there are better FPL wise players for that price tag.
      Btw last time when i have him was 3 seasons ago when he was classified as a midfielder (he was a real deal back then). Since then Salah/Mane and Defence are outscoring him

  17. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Correct bench?

    Ederson
    VVD Digne AWB Montoya
    Salah Sterling Perez Mount Dendonker

    1. Mauricios Cappuccino

    Quick noob question on wildcard.

    I made a few transfers (-12) last night and didn’t hit play wildcard. If i make some more now and press play wildcard will remove the hit?

    Also, is -12 enough to play a wildcard?

      yes , if you hit wildcard you're free of hits

      press wc and those minus points will disappear quicker than Benteke's career. I'd rather wc than -12

        Suppose he's good enough to play with one leg.

        aguero came in for 21 minutes against west ham,sterling`s turn maybe

      No chance after they dropped 2 points against Spurs.

      Sterling is absolutely secured as starter at least until GW5 when CL starts . why Pep will bench his best player - he might be mad but definitely not stupid

    Heaton and pope owners. Who you starting?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Heaton - but seriously considering selling him and having Pope locked in.
      Cant do with all this pick the right GK malarkey each week.

        Dunno if you were the same as me but I just wanted a playing 4.5 keeper in case Pope's injury(ies) cropped up again... seems to be OK to just stick him in every week though.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon

      Edging towards Pope but it's more or less a coin flip. Think both will concede so I want another 6+ saves from the Pontiff.

    When do flags get removed, is it just at official press conference mention or do they ever update earlier? And remind me what happens to price rise/fall percentages, are they reset? Asking re digne/joelinton
