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.

    Jesus to Darwin for a hit was always going to be punished by a higher power

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

      Oh ouch

    2. OverTinker

  2. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo to James decision has been made easier at least!

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

    The thing with Robo is that if you keep him against United, I can’t really see dropping him against Bou the week after

  4. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimicas has been awful since coming on

  5. _Ninja_

  8. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimi not looking great. Robbo locked in for 90mins v United. Gunna keep him

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

      Me too. I’m not concerned about owning him, he will
      Do well. It’s the frigging inevitable price drop that’s annoying

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

    4 min left for a Salah pen goal, Diaz assist

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

    Arnold on 2 baps?

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

      so much chances created, that's why

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

        I'll take it

  11. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Origi in now…! ;-(

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

      Wtf u on about

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

      Lol

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

    Olise beast on

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

    Think I am going Salah to Son (C) this GW and WC next. It has to be done. Especially if Perisic keeps not starting

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

      Son due yeah

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Perisic starts next game.
      Source: a feeling in my waters

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

    Bottomed

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

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

      Yeah, as long as Ramsdale is in goal he isn't for me. Better value to be had at 5.0m in walker and cucurella in my opinion

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

        Already on Walker and not looking to double Chelsea defence I think.

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

      No, owned by 1/4 of the game.
      He's always in the 5.0 defender conversation for which people may only need one.

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

      Difficult with Arsenal because they have about 7 viable players (Jesus, Saka, Martinelli, Zinchenko, Ramsdale, Gabriel and Saliba)

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

      Got Ramsdale, will be looking at him on WC.

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

    Eddy yc

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Think I'm just going to hold Nunez until next week and suck it up and play Pereira, not like I can't take a price drop

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

      😆

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

      Nobody tell him...

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

      3-match ban

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

        Boooo

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I know how bans work lads, I mean I won't get rid until next week to avoid taking a hit

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Thought it was obvious what you were saying

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            It seems like my post's meaning went over a lot of people's heads!

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

        Your funeral

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

        Few managers can hold a 9M player on their bench for 3 GWs.

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

      No easy games for the so-called "Big" teams vs Palace, Brighton and Brentford this season

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

        Spurs will be a problem for them too.

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      3bps Diaz

      Hooold

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

      Andreas the best cheap mid to get for Bailey?

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

        By a distance.

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

        Yes.

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

        What's wrong with Bailey?

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

          He’s Bailey

      4. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        After DaSilva and if he's deemed fit in this week's presser, yeah

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

        Yes

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

        Depends if Da Silva can hold a place giving Brentfords fixtures.

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

        2 pts v brentford nice

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

        I'd punt on Dasilva. Proven he can get points if he gets minutes.
        Andreas has nothing to show.

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

        Heya, got a Members Stat table for this, even if it does seem fairly obvious.

        https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/53223/

        Tweaked a bit for now as not much data, but he's on top for now. All pretty low xG in grand scheme but has the key stats you want.

    8. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Klopp ridiculous excuse waiting room

    9. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      So much for wildcard to get on Nunez fast… guess I’ll save it to GW5-6 now

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

      Guitar booked

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

      Is Carvalho from Thailand?

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

        No?

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

        Portuguese

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

          Angola/portuguese it seem. Thought he looked Thai.

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

      Salah going a little bit bald on the top there

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

      Bye bye Salah.

    14. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who ya'll captaining for GW3 ?

      Had it Salah but im giving it back to Haaland.

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

        Jesus in with a shout

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

        or Jesus?

    15. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tonight might actually give Bailey another week for more sides. A 5.0 midfielder suddenly won't seem such a big priority

    16. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Do you think players would still try to time waste if the clock stopped?

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

        Probably

      2. Smoky Johnson
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No point then, you milk for a reason.

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

      Salah playing more central now. Watch this space

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

      Jesus (C)
