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.

    Best thing about having Diaz as 3rd Liverpool pick is others have Robbo and Nunez and will have to do a -4 to be able to get him in.

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Best comment of the season so far……bravo!

    2. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tripple pool & I'm still considering Diaz to Kulu

    3. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m keeping Robbo. No point changing when he’s guaranteed a CS next week

    4. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not with 2ft

    5. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Until 20 minutes ago, I needed -8 to get Nunez.

      Seemed like the right move.

  2. lespaul
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    People who said Darwin is a season keeper will have an expensive bench for 3 weeks

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Everton away in GW6 will be a nice easy fixture for him

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not if he tries to stick the nut on Connor Coady.

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Darwin to Toney will be popular.

  3. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Considering Robertson -> Cancelo to leave my options for Diaz open in the future

  4. white91
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Well I knee jerked and transferred out Kane and Mbeumo for Haaland and Darwin!

  5. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo to james ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ll be doing this move if not wildcarding

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Can wait a week for me. Gives me more time to decide if i want walker, james or arsenal d

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'll be doing this, but not this week for -4

  6. Tango74
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Will salah ever score in GW2

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He'll get the winner here

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      We'll know in 30 minutes.

    3. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Before FPL we called it a "match" or just "the game"

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

    5. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        But I bet if I transfer him out for GW3 he will then starting scoring loads - I'll stick with him but felt since Jan 2022 on return from the African Nations not the same play as prior to this tournament

  7. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why does the commentator on saying two Latin Americans scored the goals.

  8. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    MAN!

    I was about to go -8 to get Darwin.

    Diaz Out for Darwin In

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I was considering crazy stuff like getting Xhaka for Diaz to accommodate Darwin lol

  9. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What would knee jerker do?
    A. Darwin+0.1m+3 match ban
    B. Kane-0.1m+goal

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Do both that’s good for us all lol

  10. Top 210 Club
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Few pages back everyone cursing Diaz and now he the best thing since sliced bread lol

  11. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo no longer nailed

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah he is

    2. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Why wouldn’t he be nailed haha?

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Never saw this coming. Its early season no CL and worrying

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It is. The same will not happen on the other side of the pitch,

  12. 2EyedTurk
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    My Kane and Diaz to Mitro and Salah is working out as expected!

  13. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    9m Nunez who to sell for?

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Toney easy

  14. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I do actually think Nunez out for three games could be good for Diaz points, with Firmino on (if fit)

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Understandable with Nunez hogging a lot of the bigger chances. Also Liverpool of late more used to threat from the wings rather than their CF

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      And for Salah points

    4. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Massively so

  15. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Giving Robo and rest one more GW, gonna WC if I don’t see the points CS United

  16. jonoelgrande
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with Perisic? Hold or sell?

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Definite hold for me

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd keep now

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hold

  17. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Guess who has Saliba, Mitrovic and Nunez in their team and no Jesus. OR rank 7m. Lol

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      yikes, thats tough

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This is my 17th season. I have a solid history including 6 top 10k finishes and numerous other top 50k. The variance in these first 2 weeks has been without question been the worst I have ever known in 17yrs. Honestly dont know if I can continue this season. All enthusiasm has been drained out of me.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Hang in there Goober!

    2. They are eating the dogs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who? 😀

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Need Digne

  18. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I’ve got Diaz but he’s been dump and was surely about to be hooked before the goal. We take those though.

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Diaz is now undroppable

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It's what FPL is all about!

    3. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think he could really have been pulled, with no Firminho who comes on for him?
      Bench full of defenders an CMs

  19. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tskimas for Robbo made no sense. He's been terrible since he came on

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The worst crosses I have seen from him ever.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think Robbo had hand issue bothering him - it was bandaged up too

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yes he got rested beacuse of hand

  20. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I thought about Diaz to Nunez before this gw. Thank me for having only one ft. 😀

  24. JBG
