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.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I always believed in Diaz.

      22. Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        How many games is Darwin out?

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

          3 straight red ?

          1. OverTinker
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            It depends

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              3 likely. Do you think he could get even more?

        2. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          3

        3. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          1. Alan The Llama
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            This

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

            How many PFL Managers having to make at least 1ft for GW3?

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

              9.0 forward on the bench for 3 weeks is rather costly plus price might go down & if not in side/squad to put on the watch list if/when to bring back?

      23. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Couldn’t really have gone much worse tonight haha

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

          Salah (c), Robbo and Trent. Didn't think my rank could actually go down. But here we are.

      24. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        First time Diaz is allowed to run with the ball and he scores.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Allowed? He has been shite tbf

        2. Arteta
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          And what a goal it was. Absolutely brilliant.

      25. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Diaz owners very lucky there. He'd have been hooked within some minutes before that

        1. Sif
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          For who? Limited attack on the bench

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

          I mean if you can score a goal as good as that I’m not sure it’s luck

          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

        2. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Easy drop to Toney

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Exactly, not sure what he is talking about

            1. Tomerick
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              It’s a pun.

      27. mad_beer ✅
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Does this mean I have to keep Diaz? I was planning Diaz to Kulu.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years

          It means whatever you want it to? Hehe
