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.

      Not sure any team with United assets can be called good....

  2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    If you’re still starting James Milner in Midfield, don’t expect to challenge for the title …

  3. Puntillimon

    Nunez for toney? Lock it early?

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years

      Obv the other way round lol

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Only if he's rising in price. I was thinking of just benching him this week to avoid the hit but Welbeck is very tempting

          Always be skeptical of those who want to engage with your post

      2. Puntillimon

        Oh didn’t realise it’s him who posted

  5. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of doing Allison to Ederson for a -4, yes or no? On a Liverpool double defence 🙁

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably not worth a hit

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  6. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Considering this game, which do we like most?

    A) Robbo and Bailey and to Cucurella and Zaha (-4)

    B) Robbo to James, play Neco

    1. jumbob

    6. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fairly unanimous, thanks all

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So it seems Newcastle are the only team who can challenge City for the title this year

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      coyS

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

      Yeah congrats

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Title of what exactly?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Most corrupt source of sugar daddies funds?

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Title of lopped off heads?

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal

  8. Wings Fan
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    2 FT. Any sensible options that don't include downgrading Kane?

    Ramsdale - Ward

    TAA - Walker - Trippier - Dalot - Neco

    Salah - Martinelli - Aaronson - Bailey - Pereira

    Haaland - Kane - Jesus

    Bailey and Dalot are obviously the ones I'm keen to be rid of. Considering doing Kane + Trippier + Dalot > Toney + Cancelo + James

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bailey/Dalot out - my option B below would work for you

  9. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Dalot looking likely to drop in price tonight so wanting to act now, any thoughts on which is the better move?

    A: Bailey Dalot > Eze Neco
    B: Bailey Dalot > Dasilva Henry

    Ederson Ward
    TAA Cancelo James Trippier XXX
    Salah Kulu Martinelli XXX Andreas
    Haaland Jesus Archer

    2FT 0.0ITB

  10. jacob1989

    Salah post Afcon slump continues!
    He was incredibly poor today just standing way wide. A switch to KDB is tempting but if Firmino starts next week, Salah could be more effective.
    And they play bottom of the table relegation candidates ManU.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think you give him next 2 games Utd & Bou & if he blanks then shift to KDB for Forest

  11. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Very tempted to Wildcard Robertson out for Diaz. Too rash?

    1. C-Dawgg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do it

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah too rash

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

    Gw3-7, which one do u prefer?
    A) KdB
    B) Son

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

      The one playing for a team that 4-0 is taking it easy

    ''We are Liverpool. This means draw''

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Robbo, keep or move on to MCI defender with FT? Got Cancelo ...

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

      Still nailed to start you'd think. Will get more minutes than Pep roulette. Would read too much into a red card 3 man sub tactical switch.

  15. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ya'll got any more of them... wildcards?

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      😆

  16. jonoelgrande
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hold Perisic or sell for Walker?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for the press. I am giving him 1 last chance.

  17. T.Henry14
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Today I was thinking how to make a combination to buy Nunez instead of Diaz, and look where we are now.

  18. El Copo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Great goal and all that, but still think Diaz to Kulu is the smart move.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could be

    2. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      why's that?

      Kulu looked great vs Chelsea

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Are you arguing with yourself?

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          no

          yes

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. He was the Spurs best player in GW1 as well, he is saying to buy him, not sell him.

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why not both?

  19. Pukkipartyy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Robbo out? What was that 60min sub....pretty expensive asset for 2pts per week.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo was being a bit hot headed, Klopp didn't want 2 red cards; wouldn't read too much into it

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably out, yeah, Matip injury isn't great news and your probably have Trent

  20. Uns95
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of doing Robbo, Archer > Cucurella & Toney - thoughts?

    Team if I do it:

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Walker Cucurella
    Salah Martinelli Kulusevski
    Toney Haaland Jesus

    Ward N Williams Da Silva Andreas P

    1. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would

  21. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A: Robbo -> James (Have TAA)
    B: Saka/Mount->Martinelli
    C: Neither. Why?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      D. Both

  22. Rock n Grohl
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Never been in a head to head league before and don't much care for it. Is there a way to leave an invitational h2h league?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. H2H is for life

  23. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years

  24. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cucu

  25. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Robbo out for…

    A) Perisic
    B) Cucurella

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mmm prob B but 5050 on both

  26. Casualspotted
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Imagine owning Nunez

    1. Colonel Wasabi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      My nightmare is not a figment of my imagination…..

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Luck of the draw, it is like getting a prize for the worst diarrhoea

    Saliba own goal
    Mitrovic missed penalty plus a yc
    Nunez red card, 3 games down the pan

    47 points

    You literally cannot make this sh*t up!

    Only positive, hanging onto an FT.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Damn that's rotten luck

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As a Digne and mitrovic owner who captained Salah and has double Liv defence you’ve made me feel a little better so cheers

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    missed the Spurs game, when Richarlison came on for Sess, how did Spurs line up? if back 4, did Son play central with Richarlison wide?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison played central with Son wide.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        hmm, cheers.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane behind Rich in the middle, Kulu and Son wide

    3. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nah Son wide left, Richarlison through the middle with Kane

    4. F4L

  29. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Probably lose about 0.5 in price drops this week. Feels like that's worth a WC in itself.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What price drops are you expecting?

  30. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Atleast LIV remain unbeaten. Can still be Invincibles.
