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.

    Ohhh fs Salah. How good is Keita for us though

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Brilliant player but average FPL option

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

    That was the type of thing that went in last season

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not really, everyone was saying how poor a finisher Salah was for many weeks.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      They were repeating the top six games on loop for two weeks in preseason and that's what I took out from Salah's goals. That bad ricochet off the thigh would have landed in his path last season resulting to an easier path to goal

    Why are we paying 13m for Salah? Casuals win again.

    1. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Casuals own him too though :/

    2. Pumpkinhead

      lol

  19. Ibralicious

    In other news Salah and Morata have swapped boots for this season

  20. Yankee Toffee

    Mane dominating the play.

    Also, could AWB be the perfect 3rd def in a 3-4-3? Or will he need to be benched some weeks?

    1. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm using him as 3rd defender

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

    Salah -67 BPS?

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

    Keita is by far Liverpools most impressive player tonight

  23. Team Bobcat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ok salah sold. You all happy 🙂

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

    Salah yah waste of space

  25. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Keita has been amazing, still think he is not a good FPL option

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nah not for me atm. Most have Salah, robbo/TAA, Mane/Firmino. Hard to squeeze Keita.

    2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I agree

  26. zes
    • 10 Years

    How come Salah doesn’t score every chance he gets? OVERRATED

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Keita trying to setup a palace goal

  28. The_Adam

    Blimey, what a shot from Townsend.

    Ohhhhh

  30. Ibralicious

    Salah-> Neves for -4?
