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.

    Wan-Bissaka. Nailed.

  2. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    There is only Wan Bissaka

    1. Reiger
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Impressive on Mane

  3. Podge
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I thought the red was pointing to the spot 😆

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ref

  4. Adro3
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Evening lads. King to Ings with my second FT? Looks like he will drop tonight

  5. Ron_Swanson
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Problem with TAA is that he seems less inclined to run forward with the ball. The first sign of a player coming towards him and he's passing it back down the wing and often even apologising to the player he didn't pass to.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      90% negative yeh

    2. zes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’s playing higher up than Robertson atm, and there aren’t any fpl points for beating a man anyway!

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        but he's barely going forward and crossing - seems to bottle it each time unless its clear or a fast counter attack

  6. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wan Bissaka is what Trent would be if he was good.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He'll get a move to a big club before Arnold too, mark my words.

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        agreed

  7. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah (c) fail?

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bit early to say.

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  9. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    AWB is some player

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Some band too.

  11. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah asleep or something 😀 ?

  12. Kingston
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Palace away is a tricky fixture these days.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Especially a late KO.

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      good fans

  13. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which route?

    A. Sanchez-> Hazard
    B. Jota -> mkhi (do A next week maybe)
    C. Sanchez -> mkhi (do king -> auba next week maybe)

    1. Adro3
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I did A

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I kinda like A but no way getting auba then if needed 🙁

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Or D. Carry the FT but no ARS vs WHU

  14. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wan-Bissaka is honestly top five right-backs in the league already.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn’t like a dig off him either, built like a middle weight

  15. dvdguy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino playing DMF?

    1. Kingston
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He always drops deep to allow space for Mane and Salah.

  16. Super John McGinn-
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking at Schlupp OOP at 4.5, although AWB is looking nailed as anything

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Meyer lurking put me off...

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      And Ayew...

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah Capo fail 🙁

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That was established yesterday afternoon 🙂

  18. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    4 at the back template.

    Mendy. Alonso. Robertson/TAA and AWB. Can start them all.

    Dunno who the ideal 5th would be however.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      4.0

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Luke Shaw

  19. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Secret Agent Sakho.

  20. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I'll take a 0:0 if AWB, Robbo, Mane and Mo(c) can miraculously share all get 3 bonus points.

  21. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah looks off.. how doesnt he take that chance?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He captained Kun.

    2. zes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Players miss chances lol

  22. Tickle Me Enzo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone not knee-jerking provide some thoughts to either
    A. Cech (5.0)
    B. Henessey (4.5)
    C. Hamer (4.0), and why?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      C. Because it's Hamer time.

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I watched the game yesterday and Hamer was poor. Surely only a matter of time before Lossl is back in.

      1. Tickle Me Enzo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        good point

  23. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

  24. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Keeper got away with one there

  25. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
