After each week’s Premier League action, we’ll be reviewing the best and worst performers, clearing up assists, as well as revealing any Fantasy League record breakers.
Where else to start for this week’s star man than Teemu Pukki?
The Finn has taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water, with four goals in two matches.
His hat-trick on Saturday – in just his second Premier League game – only just misses out on a record too. Fabrizio Ravanelli bagged a treble on his Middlesbrough debut in a 3-3 draw with Liverpool in August 1996.
As a result Pukki netted a weekly tally of nine points, putting him joint top of the overall season standings so far alongside Raheem Sterling.
With Daniel Farke’s side performing so positively in their opening games, and Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United posing some unique problems with their roving centre-backs, players from the promoted sides are perhaps worth looking at more than previous seasons.
Sadio Mane and Erik Lamela – who both registered a goal and an assist – were the next best scorers of the week, with five points.
At the wrong end of the table is basically West Ham’s defence, so thoughts are with those who selected any of their backline.
With Lukasz Fabianski already conceding six goals, might Manuel Pellegrini regret letting Adrian go?
In assist news, there was only one debate to be had this weekend.
Dwight McNeil’s shot was deflected into the path of Ashley Barnes by a defender, so no assist was awarded.
Lucas Digne was awarded an assist for Everton’s goal, but missed out on a clean sheet as he was subbed off in the 73rd minute.
