Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes with Liverpool v Crystal Palace, which gets underway at 20:00 BST this evening.

Darwin Nunez gets his first competitive start in a Liverpool shirt, replacing Roberto Firmino and joining Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz in the three-man Reds attack.

Darwin was the third most-bought forward of Gameweek 2 following his nine-point return against Fulham on the opening weekend, with just over 350,000 managers hopping on board the Uruguayan.

Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the side that drew at Craven Cottage, with budget defender Nathaniel Phillips, James Milner and Harvey Elliott also in for Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara.

Three of the players to drop out are injured, with Firmino absent as a precaution, Matip out with a muscle issue and Thiago sidelined for the foreseeable future because of a hamstring problem.

Phillips gets the nod over Joe Gomez, who is on only the bench despite the centre-half shortage.

Patrick Vieira has made just one change but it could be a significant one regarding starting formation, with defender Joel Ward coming in for benched striker Odsonne Edouard.

Michael Olise is fit enough to be a substitute after a long spell on the sidelines.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Milner, Salah, Darwin Diaz

Subs: Adrian, Gomez, Keita, Henderson, Tsimikas, Clark, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Van den Berg.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Clyne, Guéhi, Andersen, Ward, Mitchell, Doucouré, Schlupp, Ayew, Zaha, Eze

Subs: Edouard, Milivojevic, Mateta, Hughes, Johnstone, Ebiowei, Plange, Olise, Richards.

    FPL has really punished the GW1 forward knee-jerks this season, jesus christ!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Also punished people who overreact after 10 minutes of a match!

        Darwin has devolved.

      I have to laugh at the sentiments on here. A few hours ago you'd have thought Nunez was a cross between Pele and Van Basten. Now he seems to a cross between a 1 eyed cart horse and Boselli. No doubt if he scores in the next few minutes he'll be back Pele Van Basten.

      Pleased I didn’t listen to the “transfer out Kane for Darwin” advice from a couple of days ago.

    15. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Darwin train comes to an utter halt.

    16. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 headbutts will result in more then 3

    17. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No Nunez might be good for Salah tbf

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Definitely

      2. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Darwin Nunez is off!

        How many PFL managers caught out with that one?

    18. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Oh boy.

      Salah cap is surely a fail now :-(. Damn it!

    19. jonny77
      • 13 Years

      Fantasy football just doing fantasy football things I guess, looking like 5 points from Diaz Salah and Trent

    20. Zambian FPL Addict
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus double crossers got what they deserve.

    21. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Noooo Kane no longer a differential

    22. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hold Salah. Just 1 more minute.

    23. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      ok now so hold off on Salah to KDB??

      Nunez 3 match ban.. by the time he returns Jota will return.

    24. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What a great debut for Darwin.

    25. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lolol

      I'm getting rid of all Liverpool assets bar TAA. Might get Diaz for Bournemouth only.

      This team is bad for months now and they can't do anything without Mane and Jota and their headers.

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

        Salah is a legend, never sleep on the FPL GOAT.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Awful since january. If there were no pens, he would get like 2-3 goals only.

      What an epic fail lol

    27. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Spare a thought for

        1) Foo fighter
        2) Hazz
        3) Lyon fan

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          My thoughts are of hilarity

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I don't have Nunez nor said anything for against him lol. Not sure how I'm losing out but glad you're thinking of me.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I didn't say you had him, you and Lyon fan started crying because I dared suggest Nunez wasn't actually playing well

              Well whose analysis was right?

              1. Hazz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                I think you're missing the point. Wasn't specifically about your one comment at all.

                It's the accumulation of dumb sarcastic posts and taking the piss out of people trying to use the forum constructively every page.

                If I'm in your head every time you post I've achieved my goal so carry on.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    Of course it wasn't mate, just take the L. You'll come out of it better

                    Bro I literally don't care what you think, who are you to tell anyone how to use the forum? You've personally gone after 3 separate posters, so get off your high horse

                    I repeat, on another site you're consistently voted as one of the worst most obnoxious posters here, if a few lighthearted jokes trigger you this much then clearly I'm in your head bro

                    And good to know your goal was to make me have you in my head, that's not weird at all bro. Very constructive of you, hypocrite

                      If you don't care what I think why are you commenting trying to get my attention, or others to prove me wrong every post still 😆

                      Couldn't care less about another nameless site you don't bother to link.

                      Call me a snowflake but get all angsty about yourself getting upset when I post something you don't enjoy either. Learn to take it both ways.

                      Goodnight!

                      1. @persecuted_by_mods
                          3 years, 8 months ago

                          Just because I don't care what you think doesn't mean I won't call you out, classic Hazz logic and gormless emoji to go with it

                          Haha of course Hazz

                          Bit of a difference between me posting and minding my own business Vs you trying to have a pop and then me responding, wouldn't expect someone with your intelligence to get that though

                          1. Hazz

                            Funnily enough you don't seem to realise you're mirroring Fudgy's journey in a quicker time frame & we all know how that ended.

                            Anyway genuinely good night and see you later.

                            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                                3 years, 8 months ago

                                No idea what you're on about but you sound like a total loon

                                Next time you see a joke on a fantasy football forum, try not to start crying and get personal and don't be surprised if you get weirdly personal and then get it back

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  How many people transferred Darwin Nunez in for GW2 & after United result yesterday for GW3?

                  Will they look to (-4) to get alternative in now?

                  Are you Redro or MyNameIsQ or neither?

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      I am MynameisQ and nobody else dude, just 1 person. Some people happen to have a similar sense of humour is all

                  Well i don’t think Darwin will be a natural selection for the next game ☺️
