FPL Gameweek 18 – head-to-head comparisons: Raul Jimenez vs Teemu Pukki

Despite Wolves' eleven match unbeaten record ending at the hands of Spurs in Gameweek 17, forward Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) registered his second assist in successive games to make it three in his last four gameweeks and nine attacking returns in his last ten Premier League matches. Meanwhile Norwich's Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) scored his ninth league goal of the season in the Canaries' credible 1-1 draw away at title contenders Leicester. The Finn now has three goals in his last four games after suffering a recent drought in front of goal.

Gameweek 18 sees these two forwards face up against each other as Wolves travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich. The prices of both players along with the Canaries' home advantage leans us towards Pukki. Not only is he £0.9m cheaper than Jimenez, but six of his nine league goals this season along with two of his three assists have come at home.

Verdict: Teemu Pukki
