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, 11 months ago

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

    Darwinism in action

      Darwin has devolved.

        Not fit to survive 90 minutes

    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.

  13. The Mandalorian

    Darwin owners mudded

    1. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      and sold him for Jesus!! Some even captained him.

  15. FC Hakkebøf

    This is really not looking good for pool rn 🙁

  16. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years

    Darwin train comes to an utter halt.

  17. Maeki2
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    2 headbutts will result in more then 3

  18. Khark
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    No Nunez might be good for Salah tbf

    1. Kodap
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Darwin Nunez is off!

      How many PFL managers caught out with that one?

  19. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Oh boy.

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

  20. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

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

  21. Zambian FPL Addict
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jesus double crossers got what they deserve.

  22. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Noooo Kane no longer a differential

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Hold Salah. Just 1 more minute.

  24. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    ok now so hold off on Salah to KDB??

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

  25. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What a great debut for Darwin.

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

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

    What an epic fail lol

  28. @persecuted_by_mods
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Spare a thought for

    1) Foo fighter
    2) Hazz
    3) Lyon fan

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      My thoughts are of hilarity

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 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, 11 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
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          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, 11 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

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              3 years, 11 months ago

              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, 11 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

                  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, 11 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. Bluetiger1

      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?

        3 years, 11 months ago

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

    Andersen played him like a fiddle

  30. JOELIO8701

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