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.

    Will TAA price raise?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Probably, good price and very involved attacking wise on the right

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I hope so

    3. phace
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Not tonight.

    All I want to do is check my score before bed "Please try again later when the updated scores / teams will be available".

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Shoddy

      1. Calderano FC
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Slim shady

    2. zes

      Fantasy football fix will give you a predicted rank

  3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I dont know ehat you're on about, Salah was the best player on the pitch. Earned a penalty, a red, got an asisst and looked better than others as well.

    1. MrYev
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Agreed

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      BPS doesn’t work like that son 🙂

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Not saying anything about baps mate

    3. Seb Wassell
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Thought he was poor compared to his expectations tonight.

    4. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Earned a red?

      Give it a rest

    5. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Read the rules

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        In familiar with the rules thank you

    6. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Milner was the best on the pitch.

    7. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Great but poor finishing. Thought VVD was MOTM

    8. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I cant tell whether this serious

    9. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A bit more clinical and we’d have had a rampage

  4. ArsenalBankai
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Why is AWB on -2 when the second goal conceded he wasn't on the pitch?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      When you get a red card those minus points from goals still count for that player

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Read the rules

      1. phace
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Don't be a bell.

        1. Shifty
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          He's right though.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Do you not think him being sent off contributed to conceding

    4. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Being sent off doesn't get you out of losing points. They may not have conceded with 11 men on the pitch.

    5. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Because that’s how it works.

      Else you’d get red card clean sheets etc

    6. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Part of the rules when a RC is awarded

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      because he got sent off goals conceded still count

    8. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      If you get a red card, that's how it works.

  5. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    No Salah bonus 🙁

    Damn you Jackson, Damn you!!!!!

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Jamie Jackson isn't involved in the BPS.

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        He´s responsible for me (C) Salad over Kun

        1. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Did he hack your account and change captain?

          1. Woy_is_back
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Ya bro

        2. SirT83
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Haha, is he responsible for you captaining Salah? I thought you would be the one who actually made that final decision Salah?

        3. Wirtzle Gummidge
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          No he's not...

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      red card = continue to wear the team's result

  6. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Shame
    Wanted to do moura to hazard, saved the money even, now I have to bring mane, then salah to haz next week....

    1. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      That's what i'm doing only with Eriksen instead of Moura.

  7. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    How was Firmino?

    1. SkyByBo
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Was he playing?!

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Curse of the false 9.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Largely invisible.

    4. Seb Wassell
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Good in a real sense, pretty uninvolved in a fantasy sense.

      1. No_Mo_Salah?
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Worth another week before switching to Auba?

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Disagree, he was bad in both senses

      3. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Was thinking of dropping Mo and picking up Bobby for pool coverage....think I will hold onto Mo

      4. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Bad all over.

    5. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      SELL SELL SELL

    6. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      So unselfish. Brilliant.

    7. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Seemed to be playing wider than Salah and Mane a lot of the time, drifted into the channels. Still fairly tidy, some good passing and dribbling but not a lot of goal threat today.

    8. Borisalandoris
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Quiet

    9. hannibalos
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He was extremely gentle to Palace. Such a nice guy today

    10. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Who?

    11. niko mate
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Quiet. Which means he's scoring 2 next game.

    12. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Got cramp from pointless running 😆

    13. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Anonymous. Both on the pitch and in FPL. Shots were very poor. Touch heavy. Slow. Joker.

    14. Dosh
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      ...but just like last season, he'll be the one in points next game.

    1. Brosstan

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        True that, but considering going 3-5-2

    Still keeping AWB. Guy is a good player and did what was right for the team. He will be back after Watford.

    1. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yep, looked good until the red, wasn't going to start him against the juggernauts that are Watford anyway

      1. On The Up
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        it was a 'good' red. took one for the team and played really well before then

  16. Delph & Safety
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Nooooooo way did I think I would get 98 points in GW1 followed up by 96 in GW2.
    Triple Liverpool and City has done me superbly.

    1. Fire Chief Moe
      • 16 Years

      Likewise, 100 and 92. 3 city and 3 pool.

        I’m delighted especially because ‘lightning doesn’t strike twice’.
        Probably won’t last though,

    2. SPorting

      We didn’t think so either but here we are...

    Better option and why?

      "Thats the why" as my da used to say

    3. Sylas

      You surely must be related to Scott.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years

        Thanks! But I don’t know who he is. 🙂

    4. FPL Mentor
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A. Fixtures. Played well. Slightly less risky than pedro in my opionion for rotation.

      Hazard to come back. Willian a competitor with pedro for game time.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Agreed! Thanks mate.

    5. zes
      • 11 Years

      Guendouzi and Alonso was my choice

  19. Richd
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Oh WC. Surely I have to go Mane over Salah!

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      You'll need another WC then

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        This

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      BHA, lei & SOU in the next 4 I’d want both honestly.

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Why would you even consider not having both?

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Weren't you saying no Salah is suicide? And using a early WC is not wise 😆

  20. mutatedllama
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    If Salah doesn't get bonus points then this game is fixed. 2 assists plus so many shots on target. He was very unlucky.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      he wont

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      how BPS is dished out is in the rules

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He wont and it isnt.

  21. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah obviously forgot how to score a goal :/

  22. Harmonica1967
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Any feedback much appreciated!

    a). Sanchez, Jota, Daniels out for Mkhi, Alonso, Pedro and 1.2 ITB

    b). Sanchez, Jota, Davies out for Mkhi, Alonso, D.Silva and 0.9 ITB

    c). Sanchez, Jota and Davies to Mane, Pedro/Maddison, Alonso; 0.1/2 ITB

    All 3 involve a -4

    How more ppl aren't interested in a corner and right side direct freekick taking and now proven nailed on TAA with a 1.0 saving over Robertson I just can't understand. A full 1 million..if they we're the same price of course I'd understand.. but 5 million for TAA is a bargain

      It is but right now robertson looks slightly more attacking and in the bonus points. If i need a mil from somewhere thats probably the easiest way to get it without a decent downgrade player & returns wise

      He really is. His crossing needs to improve but 1 mil is 1 mil

      Agree but could Gomez not threaten his place?

      I'm actually glad most people are choosing Robertson, makes TAA a differential. Think he'll score a couple eventually too.

    Do we need to hold an FPL seance to review our scores?

    Is there anybody there...

    3BP Mané 39
    2BP Milner 38
    1BP Robertson 37

    according to discovery.

    I reckon Milner will get 3 after deductions... hope I'm wrong though

      Milner - 3 (40)
      Mane - 2 (37)
      Robertson - 1 (34)

      Is after changes.
