FIFA 21: 10 Players Who Will Be Horribly Underrated

6. Teemu Pukki (Norwich City)

The Finnish striker has become somewhat of a cult hero in the Premier League.

Pukki gained promotion to the Premier League with Norwich City on the back of his Championship heroics where he scored 29 and assisted 10 in 43 league games.

He couldn't have dreamed of a better start to life in the English top flight.

5 goals in his opening 5 games, including a hattrick against Newcastle, saw Pukki enter the early race for the Golden Boot.

Although his goalscoring dropped off since then, he has still contributed 14 goals and assists in 28 games. This means that he has scored or assisted more than half of Norwich's 25 total league goals.

Teemu Pukki is not a small game player, either. He has scored goals against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester, although it does not seem to be enough to keep the Canaries in the Premier League.

Despite all of this, EA has seen fit to keep him at 77 overall.

Whether it is due to his imminent relegation or the fact that the Finnish international is now 30, we can't be sure, but it is certainly harsh.

Pukki deserves another shot in the big leagues and certainly deserves a higher rating.
