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.

    1. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      How many games does Nunez miss?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 7 months ago

          3, violent conduct

        • Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Straight red 2 or 3 I think

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

        I’m not even sure about salah tbh. I think KDB covers him and more the way city set up now

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

      Trent off the hook there

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

      Robbo to Walker or Cucurella?

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

        same dilemma - on cucu right now though

      2. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yes

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

          real question is walker or Cucu or may be we should include Perisic too

    4. SomeoneKnows
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ederson
      TAA, James, Cancelo, Cash
      Salah, Mount, Martinelli, Bailey
      Haaland, Jesus
      (Ward, Neco, Andreas, Greenwood)

      A) Cash > Saliba
      B) Cash > Zinchenko
      C) Mount > Maddison
      D) Mount > Luis Diaz
      E) Other ideas

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        A

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

      Zaha wow

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

      Will Hughes still plays in the PL?

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

      Darwin's owners receiving Darwin's award after the game for chasing their 0.1m price increase hypetrain.

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

      Think Mason Mount is the only 8M mid that doesn't have a return after 2 games.

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

        Please don’t remind me that

      2. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Actually Mahrez as well.

      3. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        There is Mahrez 🙂

        1. fish&chips
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Guess who's got mount and mahrez. The 2 wallies

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            😮

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

        He’s due one then..

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

        Mount played well against Tottenham yesterday but no real gains - not sure if worth waiting another couple of GW's to assess

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          lee / LEI / sou

          The fixtures look really good for attackers.

          1. BeWater
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I have him and planning to hold.

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

        And for .5m more you could’ve had Bowen

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          who hasn't got any G or A yet too

      7. Assisting the assister
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Bowen says hi at .5 more

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

      TAA to Diaz would be astonishing.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        yes

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

      WC - is anyone playing for GW 3 or keeping until later on - possible middle between GW8 & GW9 before World Cup Starts?

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

      Zaha gonna lose or win this for Palace.

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

        How has he not had a hatty?

      2. out for a goalkick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I wish a top 6 side would buy him - he deserves to be in Europe as a minimum.

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

        what a miss - open game with 10 against 11, Liverpool got to go for it

    12. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Diaz one more goal please.

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        THIS

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years

    13. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Any Jesus to Darwin transfers here? Show yourselves

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

        Hahaha there are probably quite a few

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Just Foo fighter, he said he'd be here whether it worked out or not

        • George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          The main one has become strangely anonymous

        • Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Started with both at least

        • Babit1967
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Kane to Darwin 🙁

      3. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Zaha should be booked for that dive

      4. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Surely a pen, that!??

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

          On Diaz? You're joking right?

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            You didn't think he had both arms / hands on him?!!

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

              Even the Liverpool players hardly claimed

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

        I've already made 2 transfers, what happens if I WC ?

        Also for violent conduct, is that a 3 or 4 game ban for Nunez ?

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

          You can wildcard after making changes and it’s a 3 game ban I believe

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            😆

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

          "All transfers (including those already made) in the Gameweek are free of charge." (FPL help section)

          It's 3 for a straight red but there is scope for it to change upon review

      6. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I have Saliba, Digne and Nunez in Fanteam...

        1. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          At least you haven’t got Mitrovic?

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

        Keeping Salah if blanks and price fall?

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

          Price fall?

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

          Absolutely, could easily get double digit returns vs Utd

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

          United next and no Nunez? Captain material

        4. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Going without Salah agaisnt United was one of my biggest mistakes last season.

      8. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Robbo baily Mount to Cucurella Diaz Zaha will be popular..

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

          Why Diaz? Why not Saka or Foden?

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Saka didn't score and Foden was subbed at HT...the masses will lean to Diaz.

            1. out for a goalkick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              I’m going to hold Kulu for now - mainly because I’ve already taken a -8 moving Bamford, Bailey & James to Jesus, Martinelli & Patterson.

        2. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I'm thinking Robbo + Bailey > Patterson + Diaz.

          Your -4 plan looks sound, but I don't like Zaha's fixtures.

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

        Would you rather have:

        A) Zaha
        B) Perisic

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Zaha

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

          Persisic

        3. tsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          B

        4. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Perisic minutes will increase over the next few weeks - wouldn’t surprise if he started GW3

      10. ONLYPEPKNOWS
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Proud owner of Saliba, Mitro and Darwin for a total of -4

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

          That’s so unfortunate mate, sorry

        2. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          It's all about character development

        3. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I hope you also took a hit to make the Jesus to Darwin transfer - then you really are winning at life!

          1. ONLYPEPKNOWS
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Did that yesterday of cuz

        4. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Ouch unlucky

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

          I’d be ringing the Samaritans

        6. Kane and Ablett
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          This is one for the scrap book

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

        Draw would be a fair result

      12. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I hope Trent gets something late on here but really expected more than 4 points from 2 games at 7.5m

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

          He's been unlucky to be fair. Darwin should of scored from some of his crosses.

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

            He's been Pool's best player by a margin

          2. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Of course I am keeping but annoying when most expensive defender by miles not getting many points

        2. Crystal Alice
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He’s on 2 baps

        3. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          matches Mount & Mahrez

      13. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Palace have fluffed their lines a fair few times. Bit worrying from Liverpool

      14. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Can't wait to sell Robbo

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          😮

        2. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Cue a 2 assists next GW

        3. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He’ll haul against United - they’re awful - or at least I hope so!

        4. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          You don't have bigger problems in your team than Robbo?

      15. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Keep calm guys. Don't WC

        1. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Took a -8 on Saturday night before price rises

        2. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Don’t listen, now is the perfect time fo WC

      16. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Tsimikas is rubbish

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          he will probably score the winner

      17. MGD
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Are people ignoring Zincehnko? Looked like a LW for a team who scores a lot of goals at the moment.

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

          Threatened, somewhat, by the presence of Tierney.

      18. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I'm tempted to switch Darwin back to Kane and Salah to KDB

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

          Salah is better now Darwin is out

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

        Thought with a 5m GW1 rank it would be green arrows all the way...
