Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Nottingham Forest v West Ham United at The City Ground.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Steve Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI, with Orel Mangala and Taiwo Awoniyi coming in for their first Forest starts, replacing Jack Colback and Sam Surridge.

The latter drops to the bench while Colback is missing from the squad.

Centre-back Scott McKenna is fit despite sustaining an injury in training and starts alongside Joe Worrall and Moussa Niakhate at the back in Cooper’s 3-4-1-2 formation.

Neco Williams, meanwhile, is the most-selected player in this fixture and is owned by 26.9 per cent overall, although he’ll be rooted to the bench for many.

For the visitors, new signings Maxwel Cornet and Gianluca Scamacca are both substitutes.

In the starting XI, Lukasz Fabianski overcomes an injury to feature in goal, with David Moyes’ only change arriving in midfield, as Said Benrahma comes in for Manuel Lanzini.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Henderson, Worrall, Niakhate, McKenna, Williams, Mangala, O’Brien, Toffolo, Lingard, Johnson, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Biancone, Cook, Mbe Soh, Surridge, Mighten, Cafu, Taylor, Hammond

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Randolph, Scamacca, Lanzini, Downes, Cornet, Coventry, Ashby

    Is Saliba nailed on? Is he the best 4.5 defender?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Worried about an Arsenal defensive reshuffle once Tomiyasu comes back

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yea should be. Tomi best at rb

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I’m worried that Tomi pushes White into Saliba’s CB position

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          There will be competition but I think Saliba is best cb. Reckon we could see a Tomi start situation then white in to hold a lead or vice versa. 5 subs changes the landscape a bit

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not nailed, White may push him out of a CB spot when Tomiyasu is back

      Is Ben Mee nailed?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That was Jesus

      2. Skonto Rigga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Pinnock out for a while so more than likely - although Mee did get hooked in the first game against Leicester and Janelt went to the LCB role. Think that was more to do with coming back from 2-0 down and Frank wanting someone at centre-half who was comfortable distributing it.

    7. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Eyes on the JLingz the young prospect

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Breakout season

        1. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Usually happens to adolescents

    8. N00B
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on Groß as a replacement for Bailey? Nice games, he has set pieces and possible penalties.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looked lively yesterday im liking the shout

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Standout option in that price bracket imo with those fixtures

      3. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Different price points.
        Good option otherwise.

    9. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio been pretty poor for months...surprised Scamacca isn't starting.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Anti football Moyes doesn't care about his striker scoring goals as long as he can run around that's all that matters

      2. Skonto Rigga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just a matter of time. Moyes said before GW1 that Scamacca hadn't had a pre-season and was behind the others in training, so maybe just easing him in.

    10. King Carlos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Gotta say, that Forest red shirt looks cool without any sponsor

      1. Licky
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, looks clean.

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Rare sight. Reminds me of Barcelona’s no sponsor policy before they became just like every other club. They changed course in a sneaky way putting Unicef -> Qatar Foundation -> Qatar Airways

      3. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looks great. Nasty sponsor logos make or break jerseys these days

    11. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If there were no price changes for the first 4 weeks, how many people would being doing Bailey to Dasilva this week?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'd not do that if no price changes

    12. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Forgot to do this yesterday, need to get it out of my system

      LoL mitrovic, lol saliba, lol digne
      lol Jesus sellers , lol United

    13. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Early predictions for Man Utd Vs Liverpool? I'm thinking it could be a massacre, 5 or 6-0 possibly even records broken. That's just what is possible when Ronaldo is on the pitch though, wouldn't surprise me if he gets close to 4 goals with Liverpool's high line.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Predicting the game not to go ahead

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Can see that, scousers too afraid to turn up

              1. Swahealy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Scousers always turn up and always stay to the end, manc p#ssies

                1. The Mentaculus
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  What a delightful addition to the community you are

          2. Licky
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Watch it be a dull affair.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He'll likely fake an injury to avoid being part of the massacre

          4. Tcheco
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Salah(C)

          5. Coaly
            • 13 Years

            0-8

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco Williams tries to do a Trent but it ends up in the Trent.

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Didn't get Williams for his free-kick deliveries anyways!

        4. Double Daka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Might have erred starting Andreas over neco

        5. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco on all corners and freekicks for 4mil? Is that a first in FPL?

          1. Powers106
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Would you prefer Patterson or Neco?

            1. Over Midwicket
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Patterson but Neco will get a few assists just via osmosis of being on all set pieces all season

              1. Powers106
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years

                Same thoughts, cheers

          Has Collymore scored for forest yet?

        7. I Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Didn't know Neco was on set pieces. Start over Neco next week?

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Over Neto*

        8. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco looking essential, shame we can't have a 6th defender.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He sure is. Will look to bring him in as part of a 2FT at the right time.

        9. Steirish
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Williams a bargain

        10. Licky
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco putting in some good balls now.

        11. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          xA racking up for Williams

        12. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco Williams bringing his Wales form into this game. Quality player

        13. zon
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Welcome to my starting XI Neco (at least next GW).

        14. No Salah
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I was looking at Bowen as a differential with those fixtures. But man he looks so isolated, complete opposite of last season

        15. Subzero (-4)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Is there any substance to Liverpool game vs United being called off or is it just Twitter scaring etc…

          1. Kun Tozser
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            People joking at United

          2. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Just pure speculative talk, although I imagine that Utd fans will be having some sort of protest for sure

            1. COLLIN QUANER
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Protest against what exactly? Genuine question btw. This is the first I've read of this

              1. Gandalf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Last year's fixture was postponed so may be a repeat this year - protests against the Glazers and the way the club is being run

                1. COLLIN QUANER
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Thanks for the info. Hoping it isn't postponed. Looking forward to a Salah (c) haul!

              2. Swahealy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                The blaming the Glazers again even though theve put up the same money as City and Pool, can't blame ten haag yet, give it a month.

                1. Riska
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  I'm with you on this. I get that the Glazers are an unpopular entity but I just can't help but feel at some point you have to look at team selection. That same squad has been selected time and time again (Eriksen aside) and time and time again been found out. Stop playing Maguire and give him some genuine competition. Stop playing De Gea if he's making mistakes. Start looking toward youth again; they're Man Utd ffs, they must have some talent that deserves a shot over the current first 11.

        16. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Best Bailey replacement?

          a) March
          b) Jensen
          c) KDH

          Is the above move better than Trippier to Walker?

          1. zon
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Wouldn't rush this move tbh. Can't see potential options for 5.0 or less playing week in week out (other than Andreas), so a shift of funds with 2 ft's is the way imo.

          2. All de Gea no iDier
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Caicedo

            1. Coaly
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Why? He is behind March in ICT index

        17. ZimZalabim
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          great game so far

        18. OverTinker
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Neco over Bailey next GW??

          1. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Wait see how Palace look vs Liverpool, would go with Bailey if Palace look poor or take a hiding off Liverpool

          2. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Neco v Everton??

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Double question mark intended? Seems a fine option to me

          3. Kun Tozser
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Would only do Forest at home, away different game

        19. amsemp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          £6m to spend. Pick one:

          A) Gross
          B) Harrison

          Stats are really good and so similar. Fixtures both decent too. I just can’t decide.

          1. Riska
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah this is interesting. Underlying would suggest Harrison but it's hard isn't it? I can't call it either to be honest. Both?

            Edit: Whoops didn't hit reply!

            1. amsemp
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              It’s really hard! No doubt I’ll pick one and the other will haul lol

              1. Riska
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                I think Harrison is perhaps safer on xMins, right? Especially with 5 subs, I can't see Harrison playing less than 80 mins a game when he's fully fit. Gross could be interchanged with a number of others and Potter does sometimes like to mix it up.

                1. The Mentaculus
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Harrison is pretty nailed but we have so many attacking mids on the bench - including Sinisterra, who hasn't really impressed yet but will surely get some mins at LW off the bench - so I'm not too sure about that 80min claim

                  1. Riska

                    It's a fair one, I guess my 80m claim is if he maintains this form and his numbers I don't see how or why he would be dropped.

          Yeah this is interesting. Underlying would suggest Harrison but it's hard isn't it? I can't call it either to be honest. Both?

            Asked Silva on injuries post game, said Pereira injury didn't look like "anything special (serious)"
