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

    Wilson > Rashford for free
    or
    Wilson & Digne > Kane & Kelly for -4

      Can you fund Kane without losing Digne?

        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not yet until I WC and lose Robbo or TAA

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          How about you lose one of TAA or Robbo now to fund it? Pool’s defensive stats thus far are poor and Arsenal have significant attacking threat.

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I have a feeling they will exploit Arsenal this weekend from those positions

        Digne injury is what tempts me

        1. Limbo
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Can you afford to wait for news? Robbo is £1m more + balance.

      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm deliberating something pretty similiar myself. On one hand I know that the free transfer is probably the better option. On the other, I can see Kane bagging a hat-trick against Newcastle.

    Thoughts on going without Spurs completely?

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      im on that train until i either WC or Salah continues to be terrible

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have any (sold Moura)

      • KingOllie
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        no spurs for me

      • Tsparkes10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        And how you set up?

      • Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        As silly as it may sound unless it's a Free Hit I won't have any Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal players in my team this season.

      • FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No Spurs players in my team.

      • Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Got priced out of plans to get Kane this GW - so will hide behind the sofa

      • 7rjngs lollygagger
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not a problem if you get the captain call right.

        Look at week 1 for a very similar set of fixtures for City Liverpool and Spurs. Arsenal aren't that much likelier in defence than Norwich perhaps, Bournemouth closely parallel WH and I don't see any difference really between Newcastle and Villa defence.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          V true I guess. Making me more confident to go without tbh

      • Stoneleigh
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Think the biggest issue is this coming GW - though it's better than having 9.5m invested in Son and him not play (which is the risk I'm taking by the way)

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Really tempted to do the same. Kane always a weird one but Son when firing is insane

      • President Giggs
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ownership of their players isn't very high, so it's not too scary to go without. I wouldn't go near Kane with how deep he plays, but i'm taking a gamble on Son as he's a fantastic differential that could explode this week.

        1. Artemis Titans
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I went Son too. He's had a preseason, he's had a rest, he's not injured... surely he will start. Thinking of armband too. Doubledown.

        2. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          he wasn't playing deep in the first week...last GW was City. I expect him to play further forward this year.

    3. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson
      Lundstrum,Laporte,VVD,Coleman
      Mc Ginn,Sterling,Mane,Perez,Dendonker
      Kane

      Good to go guys for GW3? Set captain on Sterling

      1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        How come you don't fancy Kane against Newcastle?

        1. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think sterling will perform against bou and might change to Kane.

      2. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looks fine. What transfers did you do or is this a wildcard team?

        1. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          i transfer Salah to Mane mate

    4. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Caught in two minds.

      A) Wilson to Pukki (free)
      B) Robbo & Wilson to Zinchenko & Kane (C) (-4)

      Yay or nay?

      1. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        B looks better on paper.

        1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Kane always feels kinda right and kinda wrong.

          1. Another Hoops
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            He once won me a Mini-League but I can never trust with captaincy.

    5. MFPL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts?

      Pope (Button)
      Zinchenko AWB Dunk (Kelly Lundstram)
      Sterling Mane KDB Mount (Cantwell)
      Kane Pukki Barnes

      1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        WC team?

      2. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looks very good.

    6. mikeycee93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Here's my wildcard team at the moment...

      Pope (4.0)

      AWB, Digne, KWP, Montoya (Lundstram)

      Sterling, Mane, KDB, Martial, Mount,

      Kane (Greenwood) (Wickham)

      1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty good - one question. Who're you moving KWP for when he gets dropped?

        1. mikeycee93
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I just commented below.. but Kane > Rashford, Martial > Son, KWP > Mina?

      2. mikeycee93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Tempted to ditch Kane, do Martial > Son

        Take in Rashford and upgrade KWP to Mina..

      3. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Personally would prefer Son instead of Kane but looks decent pal. Best of luck.

        1. mikeycee93
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Do you think? I think the burning questions comes down to Martial & Kane outscoring Son & Rash.. as i could do the latter and save .5 for upgrading defence

          1. Another Hoops
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            To be honest I don't think you can go wrong with either choice pal.

        2. sovietrockettes
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Prefer Martial+Kane

    7. Killersquad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Wildcard team - Any thoughts?

      Pope | Button

      Laporte | Digne | KWP | Lundstram | Kelly

      Sterling | KDB | Martial | Mount | Cantwell

      Kane | Rashford | Pukki

      1. Sndeshdhkl

        good...ive same team except mane for kane

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm not Mane or Salah though. In fact no Liverpool at all. That would be my obvious worry.

      2. LangerznMash

        Digne injury?

            I boarded at Neejurk at 10pm

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have to say, letting Vardy and Perez go in order to get KDB plus Pukki is feeling so good.

        1. 7rjngs lollygagger

          Perfect move a week ago 😉 Still very nice now

          • 10 Years

          Liked your Sterling analysis. I’m now wavering with my captaincy option. It’s been on Kane since the weekend...

        2. Limbo
          • 14 Years

          Just followed - good stuff 🙂

        Mate I hope he goes up another 0.1. That hat trick last week was awesome and I'll be on this Pukki train for a while, hoping to never get off 🙂

        I'm currently not on board and by the time i get on board it will be too late no doubt 🙂

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Who thinks Pukki will be at 7m by start of GW3?

          That is what I like about Pukki. He will not be difficult to fix if he does not return with points next 3 to 4 GW's.

      9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        I'm just here to rob it of 0.1m then escape on a Moise Kean horse into the sunset lol

        Headin' for the station with a Pukki in my team
        I'm tired of transportation in the back of a leem
        I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
        And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
        And pal around with democratic fellas named Mane
        So take me right back to the track, Kane!

        1. Francescoli

    9. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pope

      Dunk Laporte VVD Coleman

      Salah Sterling Maddison Trossard

      Kane (c) Pukki

      Ryan, Dendo, Greenwood & Lunds

      GTG? Or anything obvious to change? Good luck guys

      1. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I love the Maddison pick, he is someone I am working to get in to eventually replace McGinn.

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 6 Years

        Id want Rash or martial personally but gtg

          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, I do feel united might find things harder than expected vs Palace. They need space in behind and feel that we might see a bit of a run of low scoring united games.

          I want to move Coleman out for Maguire soon but already taken a -4 this week and feel there is priority.

          Cheers for comments guys

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmm I'm not sure I agree. Palace were awful against us and I love their fixtures but who knows.

      Thoughts on Aubam, Perez, Wesley to Rashford, Martial, Pukki (-4)

      1. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I like it and think this would be a very good move. Having said that watching Wesley and Auba go wild this weekend 😉

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly... Also not sure if a Martial/Rash double up is stupid. Also no spurs and would find it hard to get a premium attacker Or Son/KDB

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would not double up on UTD attack, especially not for a hit.

    12. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      GK Pope
      DEF AWB, KWP, Mina, Lundstrum
      MID Salah, KDB, Sterling, Dendonker
      FWD Kane, Rashford

      Subs Cantwell, Soyuncu, Wickham

      No Liverpool defence is what's missing, could do Salah to Mane and then Mina or AWB to VVD. Problem with that is that each week the majority of my defenders will be home or away, the current set up evens that out.

      1. FlyingWithoutIngs
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would you not start Adrian for the next 2 and then go Pope?

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I could do tbf, problem is Pope is close to rising in price

      Thinking of going with Walker as my City def coverage on wildcard.

      Can't afford Laporte as I'm going with TAA over VVD.

      Thoughts?

      1. FlyingWithoutIngs
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who do you have in goal, ederson 0.1 more and more nailed

    15. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Adrian
      AWB digne Emerson zinchenko
      Mane sterling KDB martial
      Rashford pukki

      On wildcard, was without Kane at first but now I’ve seen people saying about how easy the Newcastle game is, They only lost 1-0 to Arsenal are they exaggerating that Newcastle are the whipping boys?

      1. FlyingWithoutIngs

      Subdued in impact thanks to a red card in the opening match, Moise Kean let Evertonians know what they can expect from him this season. Subbed on with just under 20 minutes left to play, the young striker made an immediate impression on the Goodison faithful, running at the winded Watford defense.

      With a scary blend of skills, speed and strength, Kean sliced his way through the opposition and nearly netted himself two goals. He was certainly unlucky not to get his first goal in blue under his belt, but his performance was very impressive. While Dominic Calvert-Lewin has a fantastic work rate, Kean has that special something that will make him a nightmare for opposing defenses across the league.

      Lovely fixtures too and DCL couldn’t score furniture with a chainsaw

        I'm planning on Wilson > Kean this week. Just waiting for 90 minutes (and had more important 2FT already). I'm a blue so the decision is easy but predict Pukki + Kean + Kane will be very common WC teams at the international break.

        1. Limbo

          *in WC teams

        Interesting. I'd always planned for Haller by now but Comrade Pukki became the go-to.

      Sterling is both a safer (City are amazing, virtually guaranteed chances) and more explosive (he's a mid) captain choice than Kane, really can't shake the feeling that Raz is the best c this week but Harry way more exciting and Newcastle are utter toilet. Gonna cling on to the fact that City only won 1-0 at Bournemouth last season.

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Don't have Kane but would captain Sterling anyway

          1. Limbo
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I'm the other way (also don't have Sterling). Think Kane + Son will tear Newcastle a new one. Got 5-0 home win pencilled on the acca.

            1. Limbo
              • 14 Years

            2. MTPockets
                5 years, 1 month ago

                A possibility. Just not sure how Spurs will line up, and little to grumble about with Sterling/Man city so far - plus extra pts potential for goals/cs

                1. Limbo
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I'm happy with Sterling (c) being the only choice. It's nice not to have to make one.

            • 14 Years

            Both good shouts... Leaving towards sterling due to the KDB factor - he has the best service in world football at the minute

            1. Rhinos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              there's nothing in the con section of raz c, only reason for kane is the buzz of it working

                5 years, 1 month ago

                I’m hoping they both score big. I had Kane pencilled in for this fixture though and I’m sticking to my guns.

          4. Rhinos
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            and they only created one chance in the first half then kdb went off injured

            City only won 1-0, but the stats tell a different story.

            City 82% possession, 23 shots to Bournemouth's 0.

            1. Rhinos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              well yeah im not suggesting bou will nueter them just that it's not a guarantee city will score loads. Let me clutch at those straws

            2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Very valid point. Can't imagine it working out like that for Bournemouth again

              1. Rhinos
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                only one chance in the first half. Shot stats are pretty meaningless unless you know the quality of said shots

                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I agree, xG was 1.60, but a more clinical City would have scored more. You'd also expect Bournemouth to be a little more adventurous this time, which will help Sterling and co.

                Trossard is a good example. H Wilson. Mount, Cebellos. Or upgrade - Martial being the obvious suitor.

            Otamendi is a good punt honestly, has a knack of getting a few goals from set pieces as well.

            • 14 Years

            Do Wilson > Pukki and wait on Digne news? If he's out for a few games (does seem unlikely) but he could fall 0.1 - then you get price rise as he's immediately picked up again.

          Can see Pep unleashing his new signing this week, Cancelo. At 5.5, he is straight in my team if he can nail a place.

          1. Differential C (Mark)
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Question is, in place of Walker or Zinchenko?

            1. avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Walker.

            2. ZeBestee
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I think Walker. Pep loves attacking fullbacks complementing the wingers, and Walker isn't very good at that as shown over the last few seasons. I may be wrong though.

              1. avfc82
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I see a lot of rotation going forward between Walker and Cancelo, dependent on opposition.

                1. ZeBestee
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Right. Tougher matches will mean Walker starts as he is more suited to the PL.

          2. 7rjngs lollygagger
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Likewise

            Got AWB in as a placeholder for him. Just hoping that price rises go right to make that swap easy if Cancelo looks settled.

          3. avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Personally think the Brighton match is more likely but looking forward to seeing him.

          4. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Cancelo signing looks to me like Pep giving himself the option of 5 atb, with Mendy and Cancelo very advanced and maybe Walker as a CB. Makes even more sense with Sane's injury.

            Agree with AV that there will be rotation, barring injuries I'd imagine we will arrive at a point where only Laporte is reliable.
            That said, if Pep did regularly roll out a back 5, 5.5 for an attacking City wingback would be amazing
