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.

    Is Wan-Bassaka banned for 1 game or 3?

    Thanks.

    1. Always Lundstram
      • 9 Years

      1

    2. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      1 for sure.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I might keep him in that case

    3. Petrichor II
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Last back fault not the dangerous one. Should be one game ban.

  3. Ben the Mee
      7 years, 7 months ago

      At least Tosun not looking to drop soon. How's he looked so far? Getting closer to scoring a goal? Still has the fixtures so I'll prob keep for now

      1. olly:)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        he’ll score sooner or later, been playing well

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He'll score vs Bournemouth; I've just wildcarded him out.

      3. Petrichor II
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Good fixtures but for some players good fixtures didnt promising anything imo.

    • Sz21
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      -4 done but likely no subs to come in next GW.
      Fingers crossed my 1st eleven perform.

      Foster.
      Alonso, Robertson, Mendy.
      Salah, Mane, Bilva, Richarlison.
      Ings, Aguero, Mitrovic.
      Patricio, Wan-Bissaka, Peltier, CHO.
      0.4m ITB.

    • Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Folks, am undecided on a replacement for Sanchez. Have 10m to spare, any recommendation?

      Currently, got Mane, Richarlison, Mkhitaryan and Stephens as other midfielders.

              Thank you bro

    • tvz32
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So is Mane officially off penalties?

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

        When Milner on the pitch yes

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        When was he officially on them?

        1. tvz32
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          He took them during pre-season

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            He took 2 in 2 friendlies. That didn't make him ahead of Milner suddenly

      3. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Was never officially on them. Always been Milner.

    • yakirh
      • 9 Years

      Only 1 decision left to make this week

      Who to start?

      Cheers!

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes

    • milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So we can't bench boost if we are on WC?

      1. Ben the Mee
          7 years, 7 months ago

          One chip max per gw

        • Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Only 1 chip a week. WC is a chip and using bench boost in non double game week is a rookie move

        • FPLzebub
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          No. you can only use one chip per GW.

        • We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years

          No we can't

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

        Who would you play out of King and Tomkins?

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

          King for sure. Everton not the best for defence, and Bournemouth always a shout for a goal.

        2. Ben the Mee
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Tomkins

          • Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

          • Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years

          2. 420king
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

          • 11 Years

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            1. Ange Ball
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Yes giving him one last try apparently he got 3 goals amd 2 assist against Everton

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            King could easily come away from next week with a good score. I'm keeping and playing

            Mendy and Alonso. Pogba doesn't interest me he's a trap every season

          2. GXNG
            • 9 Years

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I think you don't have to make a decision with Peltier

        15. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I think people are overestimating next 3 Arsenal fixtures. Wham home and Cardiff and Newcastle away are all tricky fixtures

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

            West Ham home is very good, especially for attacking returns. Cardiff look terrible. Newcastle should be tricky however.

          2. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Easy 9 points for them

          3. Dr. Rog
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            west ham are awful so far and yet to gel
            and did you watch the Cardiff Newcastle game? both of them looked championship quality

          4. Totalfootball
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            West ham game could be high scoring , lets see

          5. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Have Arsenal won a league game away in 2018? It's still the same team as last season mostly

          2 FT and 0.0 ITB
          Foster, (Patricio)
          Robertson, Mendy, Bailly, (WB, Peltier)
          Salah, Mane, Bilva, Richarlison, (Chalobah)
          Aguero, Zaha, King

          Do I get rid of King before he goes down tonight? Also what about Bailly - wish I hadn't missed Alonso price rise!

          BB and WC played already. You'd swear I'm one of those dreaded casuals.
          *There's a casual scratching at the porch door Kelly Ann!
          *Don't let him in Tiffany, he's wielding a Pogba in one hand and an Alonso in the other!
          Casual zombies would be an amazing movie franchise.

            If he's wielding a Pogba he needs a mercy shot in the head.

              Imagine what Klopp could do with Pogba.
              He'd have him purring like a kitten.

              Fabinho Pogba Keita
              Mane Firmino Salah

          Never had a decent start before 25k. Unsure of protocol. Decide to attack by transferring in two sub 4% owned players.

            All teams will end up similar in 8 weeks or so.
            Just follow the sensible trends.
