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.

      Light reflection off Palace shirts.

    4. TheTinman

      He was just trying to kiss him, there's no way it was a red card

      Too big mosquitos @ Anfield tonight. The mosquito exterminator didnt show up. Thats why Nunez tried to headbutt one off Andersen

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      VAR fault

    7. tambourineman
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The 9 day gap from the previous fixture was too long

    8. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It was a lot of wind around Nunez' head, he didn't see Andersen.

    9. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Blame it on Kane

  2. Jock Grealish

      Vieira beast v top 6

  4. Rainer

    4 years, 1 month ago

    People ACTUALLY captained Salah in GW2?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They weren't told the history.

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hasn't scored in 3 consecutive games at the start of the season

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lesson learned

  5. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Already On WC and Darwin off takes one dilemma away. Thinking of this:

    Sanchez (ward)

    TAA, James, Cancello (Henry, Williams)

    Salah, KDB, Martinelli, Za-HA, dewsbury hall

    Jesus, Toney (archer).

    No spurs or Haaland. I’m hoping to get in A nice balance of core & differentials with nice fixtures.

    All thoughts welcome!

    1. RamboRN
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tbh I think you gonna suffer not having haaland or spurs

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers bud. Not dropped Haaland yet as have the .2 value in him. It’s then a case of getting kulu instead.

        Appreciate the comments.

  6. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah has ruined my entire GW.

  7. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which Robbo downgrade to fund Neto > Martinelli?

    A) Perisic (risk, I know)
    B) Cucurella
    C) Zinchenko

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Close. Cucu or Peri for me.

  8. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland cappers win 😉

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDB cappers win

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus cappers win

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Good point!

      2. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus cappers win

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anderson sitter

  10. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Big at the back with two Pool really not feeling like the right decision at the moment. Meanwhile decent midfield options continue to get price rises. Not sure what to do. Thinking wait fot next two fixtures then use 2xFT to lose Robbo and upgrade mid if he's still doing nothing?

  11. Jock Grealish
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland 10 pts cap v salah 4 points. Hiyoh

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Haaland breaks even as if kept Kane then would have went Salah (C) and ended up on the same points

    2. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is hiyoh pronounced heee-yorrr?

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No

    3. borat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not really.
      Halland cappers + salah- 12 pts
      Salah cappers + halland- 7 pts

      1. borat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        9 pts

  12. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Utd will tank this lot just wait hmmmm

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      United will score against Liverpool methinks, so I am considering downgrading Robbo

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They will up the ante big time at OT

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This LIV defense, maybe they played too many games last season.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't there 7 game in a row conceding?

  14. Jock Grealish
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Klopp streaking

  15. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Palace winner would have been glorious

  16. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Darwin has left me in the do do as I’ve already transferred out Bailey. Can’t see an obvious change for -4.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney and Welbeck

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah actually Toney is tempting. Good call.

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      These or Mitro

  17. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah capper on the pitch

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nunez in disguise

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hahaha

  18. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So, sell Robbo or TAA for Walker?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo.

      Trent created so much.

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      if wanting to change possible go for Robbo - but not sure if worth waiting a GW with United away next?

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        United will have to go forward as the home side

  19. Norco
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson + Mount + Archer > Cucurella + Maddison + Toney (-8)?

    I have James so that would be a double up of Chelsea at the back.

    1. NATSTER
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep Mount for the run of next three.

      1. Norco
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe just the -4 with Curc and Toney then.

  20. legendaryjordan
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    WC Team decided, thoughts?

    Ward, Iverson
    James, TAA, N. Williams, Cancelo, Saliba
    KDB, Dasilva, Martinelli, Kulsevski,
    Jesus, Hauland, Taylor

    Could maybe fit in Darwin later in the season if he picks up form

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's my current team with Salah over KDB and Robbo over Saliba! I still have FT 😉

  21. Bartowski
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone will have forgotten how bad the template was by the start of next season.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Happens every season - although by the whole this one is still fairly strong.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This one is ridiculously strong, especially if Diaz over Robbo today.

      1. Bartowski
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Rashford, Neto, Bailey, double Pool defence. Everyone off Kulveski cos of Richarlison. No one picking De Bruyne.

    3. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm 77% template. Best ever start

      1. Bartowski
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That could just be a history of really bad starts...

  22. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Utd win over Pool will get Utd ahead of them in the table.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not happening though

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If my grandmother had a tyre she would win the F1 championship next season!

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    ManU Pool next week will be like two drunks scrapping

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Brilliant

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    TAA, Diaz and Darwin when back anyone? Put Salah money to KDB or Son

  25. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool draw specialists

  26. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yup, Mo doesn't score in GW2.

  27. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So Nunez to Toney then yeh?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah already pulled the trigger

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney is a great pick with their upcoming fixtures

  28. TomSaints
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    4m rank and I still like my team with a few minor adjustments.

    I don’t think I understand this game haha

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is really close at the start of the season, 10 pts means 1m ranking, give it a 5 GWs or so

  29. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did Fabinho just get injured with that last kick of the ball

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Manchester champions again. Done and dusted. Chelsea was a threat but the referees hate us, so Arsenal is the only threat atm.

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Talking tripe!!
