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.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think it’s Milner, Robertson and VVD.

  11. Forza

    One goal on a Monday night breaks the FPL site 😆

  12. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Ffs palace just gave mane that goal so annoying

  13. bv57
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Assume we're all keeping WBis?

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ofc

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I am keeping AWB. Only one game and he took one for the team.

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely

    4. Frozen Mukluks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  14. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Need those baps for either Van Dijk or Salah

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Me too

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think VVD gets 1.

  15. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Keep Firmino? Brighton at home next. He was frustrating today tbh

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I have to keep him as I have made my transfers. Would’ve sold him over King in a heartbeat if Kings price wasn’t falling.

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'd keep

    3. tabzy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Gotta keep for Brighton. No clear cut alternatives... just yet anyway

    4. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I have him, gonna have to keep. Can't justify it with that fixture and other transfers that can be made instead. Annoying though, I went triple Liv attack so missing out on Robertson is hurting as everyone has him

    5. Jusagoras
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Last season he got pretty much the same points per 90 minutes as Mane. I doubt things have changed so fundamentally that he won't deliver in time. So yes, keep for Brighton at home.

    Wan bis first sub coming on
    Get in there.

      Don't care. He played a really good game and is awesome value.

  17. Point-one short

    Wow. So how many times each gw is FPL going to crash to 'the game is being updated'?

    This is getting ridiculous.

  18. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    FPL updating..... Free WCs for all.....

  19. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    1 goal and FPL crashes.

  20. yakirh

    no doubt roy's turned palace into a very good side.

    they should finish top 6, a couple of places ahead of man utd.

    1. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Agree

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Top 5 a bit ambitious. But yeah, top 8 team for me. Well drilled and will cause the bigguns some issues. A proper ground out win for pool

    Robbo CS
    Mané goal

    Some salve for the Salah captainers at least which is nice.
