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. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Would do B for Dasilva if you can afford him, otherwise A for Gundo/Rodrigo

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      They just don’t have the strength in depth that City do. Their best 11 is easily a match

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not anymore

      2. SkyByBo

    Haaland+Robertson+Bailey+Mount to Toney+James+Rodrigo+KDB

    Worth a WC?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Why is Zaha not on any bonus

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

      didn't have enough passes, missed a big chance and was tackled.

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

      Must have points removed for whining non stop

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

    0 ft and Trent and Robbo to drop in price. Damn

  15. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine if Liverpool had Mane over Nunez...

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

    I was told we can't celebrate 2:0 win too hard because it's only Crystal Palace...

  17. thegame983
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Boo. Taa on 1 bonus

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

      his last misplaced pass cost him 1 BP

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

    Robertson?

    A Keep
    B Sell

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I want rid, but I know it'll infuriate me even more if he hauls in next couple. Might just grit my teeth & hang on til WC in a couple of weeks.

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

      A for GW3

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

        Then he has Bournemouth at home in gw4. So surely you would want to keep him for that also.

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

      Keep. Especially if Matip is back

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

      It was an incredibly frustrating watch. Especially when Diaz scored as it was between him and Robertson.

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

    Salah GW2 curse goes on.

  20. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah (c) fail, normally always does well v us, but great to see Olise back now - think with a front 3 of Eze/Zaha/Olise getting a run we will cause some teams problems this season. Doucouré adapting well to the prem as well is good to see.

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

      Vieira seems to be perfect for this team and he's probably the most exciting manager you've had in years. I hope you finish in top 10 or maybe even 8.

  21. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    65 points with no Jesus. It's a team game. Quite happy with that.

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

      And a penalty save, don't forget that.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He saved me.

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

      49 points here. Deeeeeep down in the mud

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

    Find it crazy only 2 teams have won both starting games

  23. bv57
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If your a Palace fan you've got to be a bit passed that they didn't try and win that?

    1. bv57
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      p*ssed

    2. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ye pretty embarassing by them

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

        Lol

    3. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha did miss 3 sitters, they had the chances

    4. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah strange subs from PV there (apart from Olise) so disappointment, but equally I was expecting us to lose that in the final minute.

    5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Talking nonsense......Palace created good chances and taking Robbo off for Tsimikas was a big mistake

  24. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Gonna take an iron will to stick with this godawful Pool defensive double up for next week.

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

      At least they've got the whipping boys up next. Darwin suspension will help them hugely imo.

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

        Hilarious.

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

    Congratulations to Crystal Palace this is why the Premier League is the best league in the World.

    Not a total shock as Palace record against the top six last season (YR2021/22) very good

    Make a brilliant match in GW 3 between Manchester united & Liverpool both with poor starts to season where on paper looked good!

  26. Norco
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    GTG 0FT 0ITB

    Ward
    TAA James Cucurella Cancelo
    Salah Martinelli Mount
    Haaland Jesus Toney

    Subs: Neco Dasilva Andreas

  27. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Said it last week, got laughed at - Salah becoming not so essential this season for the price?

    I will keep for next 2 fixtures, but needs a return in each for me to keep I think

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

      After 2 games he has 14 points. Enjoy your 5m rank

      1. TOBY1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It's a watch but its becoming more palatable to get rid of him

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

      Mane helped create a lot of space for him. Still a class act but looks overpriced this year

  28. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Exact funds here, pull the trigger? Will be priced out tonight

    Robertson, Archer -> Cucarella, Toney (-4)

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

      I'm doing it too. Exact funds.

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

        Done! 🙂

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

      Why will you be priced out? Who is rising or dropping out of them

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

        Toney rising probably

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          What's he currently on? Fplstats ain't loading for me

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

            He was on 97% 10 mins ago

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

    People laughed on here when I said palace wouldn't be a pushover.

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

      People justifiably laugh at a lot of your posts tbh

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

        And regret it then. You lose muppet.

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

          There are very few regrets Mr Sophisticated

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

    Darwin's owners are great examples of impulsive buyers. Been there myself but with time you will learn not to go for that 0.1m price after one game.

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

      Superb hindsight observation.

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

        On your period?

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

      Because you could have predicted the headbutt 🙄
