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

    Wonder how many Man United fans captain Salah next week.

    Don't they account for over three million FPL players.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For FPL you need to target teams in bad patches. Would make sense to target United right now. I’ll captain Kane though just for early kick off disappointment to set up the gw nicely

      Win win really, United do well I’m happy, my captain scores 20 points im happy

    3. DRIZ ✅

      Rather have Darwin

  2. Bobby Digital

    Whoa that Chito Vera headkick

  3. Paqueta Rice

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Has Patterson done enough to keep him ahead of Coleman in the pecking order? Considering Robertson and Bailey to Patterson and Kulusevski.

    I have Neco

      Think Patterson himself has been fine but Lampard might want an experienced head in there to try steady the sinking ship. Coleman could also play RCB too.

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you.

    Bottomed

    £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. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

      Har

  5. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    A

  6. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bailey Wilson -> Dasilva Jesus

    Pretty obvious move ?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

    So-called Experts told me to captain Haaland but I Captained Salah. We’ll find out the real Expert tomorrow night!

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

      The real expert would’ve captained Jesus

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

        Salah hat trick would be enough

    2. TorresMagic™

      Did you post this before the City game?

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years

  18. DRIZ ✅

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

    Rice first on my bench.

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

      Wissa cameo blocking him. XD

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Rightly so

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Might need to put Neco in the starting 11 and downgrade someone else to 4.0... or not. WHU just scored.

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

    Antonio off the ball body check...

    Sin bin!

  22. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    NFO strikes me as a team that will lose a lot of games 1 or 2-0.
    Looking really toothless up front and also not looking that solid in defence either.

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bowen involved in the celebration

  24. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years

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

    2. Jock Grealish
