Fantasy managers backing goals for both Liverpool and Palace

The most captained and most transferred in player of Gameweek 2 will both be at the heart of the action as the latest round of matches draws to a close.

Sadio Mané (£9.7m) was snapped up by 487,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers after his brace against West Ham in Gameweek 1, and he is in the starting line-up tonight.

Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park having won 2-1 on their last visit back in March. The events of that meeting bode well for Mané and the 54 percent owned Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who both found the net.

Not surprisingly, the Egyptian is the most captained player in Gameweek 2, with 1.4 million managers handing him the armband.

Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), backed by 17 percent of Fantasy managers, also registered an assist during his last trip to Selhurst Park, as well as in Gameweek 1 of 2018/19.

There will also be much interest in the exploits of each side’s forwards tonight with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) the second most-owned option in this encounter, his 35 percent following second only to Salah. Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is not far behind the Brazilian in third place with a backing of 31 percent.

After emerging as a fantastic budget option in Gameweek 1, Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes into his second match of the season now priced at £4.1m and in 22.5 percent of squads.

Tonight’s Monday night match should definitely have a big impact on the outcome of Gameweek 2.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Does a red card count as a return? Asking for a friend

    Don't get points for Salah goal, AWB suspended. Lovely

      He wasn't going to score. Ball had gone.

    F* it - only one in ML without RObbo, and AWB coming in for Peltier 🙁

    Thank god he is on my bench haha

  20. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Nice Salah dive. Absolutely criminal

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He clipped his legs, 100% clear penalty.

      Besides which, why would Salah even dive outside the penalty area when he's 1 on 1 with the goalie?

  21. Poppa Klopp
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    There’s no way I’m transferring Salah out

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      this

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Why? Tough fixtures and can have a hell of an amazing team without him

      1. Poppa Klopp
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        He’s the main man for Liverpool, palace have a good side this season and he should be on a brace

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I guess, but it’s no coincidence that like the top 100 players overall are doing way better and don’t have salah, same goes for my rival.
          I have got Salah, but thinking of getting rid.

  23. Zladan

  24. Deulofail

    If Salah doesn’t score next week then I think it’s time to ship. Only problem is I’ve got Mahrez and firmino to deal with...
