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.

    Pool realising just how important Mane was to their system.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Miss his movement so much

      1. Bartowski

        You'll meet someone new, hang in there babe.

          Lmao

      Yeah, Mane was crucial. But its normal for new players to take time to settle. Mane was needed for at least 1 more season but yeah a mistake imo.

        Think Nunez will take a bit longer now he has three weeks away from competitive games....

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          think he has blown his chance. Jota will be first choice CF now once fit with Nunez as super sub.

  2. Zoostation

    Biggest worry currently is no Spurs coverage

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still eying Diaz to Kulu when tripple Pooled but zero Spurs.

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm Kulu seems best way to avoid ripping up the team

  3. Budweiser

    Kane to Darwin went well then 🙁

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

      Could've been worse, could've sold Jesus for him.

      Ah he coulda scored a brace before he lost the head

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

        Except he didn’t

  4. Football is home

    Darwin's owners failed at Darwinian evolution because of impulsive buying.

    1. Gunners in Haaland

      Up-vote

  5. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. Toby Lerone
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've just done A. Mount worth keeping one more week?

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B) Mount

  6. House Frey Wedding Planner

    Will never happen but it would just be so funny if Liverpool and Utd got relegated this season 😀

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      not LIV, but ManU could

  7. GENERATION X

    Milner interview perfect for bedtime zzzzzzz

  8. Zidane's Floor
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Diaz to Kulu madness considering I have Son

    And, I have Rashford aka Trashford

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      this was meant to be a question

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

      Rashford has to go, Awful

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        thing is... he is getting into positions with the ball... makes me think surely he'll bang one in soon

        delusion?

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A little mad, but Diaz not so sure on. Maybe keep instead of the double up

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I mean Diaz scored and hit the post vs Fulham so he isn't BAD

        And with Rashford - he is getting into good positions, but not scoring... crazy to stick with him?

  9. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kulusevski or Mount for the upcoming GW?

    Was planning on doing Rashford + Mount -> Rodrigo + Kulu it this GW for -4 and already did the former.

    The 2nd transfer is part of my squad overhaul plans and will happen now or later, just hesitant about transferring out Mount ahead of Leeds. Thoughts on who scores more this coming GW??

    1. Chris_l25
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Personally wouldn't be transferring Mount out before Leeds. Chelsea have some great fixtures coming up

  10. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please support my petition to ask Nunez to change his first name to stop all the evolution jokes

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Best tonight were:
      'On the origin of feces'
      'Survival of the sh*test'

      If you're just saying something evolution you're not as smart as you think.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed and upvoted

        I had origi of the species a few weeks ago, proud of that one

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

      Every sane person knows evolution is just a myth invented by the atheists anyway.

    3. cassanata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The jokes are getting old at this stage, you'd think they would have evolved by now.

  11. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did Mark stick with no Salah?

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      idk but i did

      for Son

      Which made literally 0 difference

      But it's ok

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

    I am really thinking of going Diaz over Salah and get KDB/Son. What do you think?

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

      Now Nunez is out id say Salah is gonna haul

    2. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I can see the rationale and it could work out, but going without Salah is always going to be a risk + Kulu covers Son’s points just as well Diaz covers Salah’s. Also Haaland > KDB and I wouldn’t have both premiums.

      Not sure if that helps, but some food for thought

  13. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robbo > Henry/Mee & Bailey > Diaz for free? Yay or nay?

  14. Yozzer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robbo and Bailey --> Cucarella and Diaz -4. gents?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

  15. My heart goes Salalalalah

      Oh...goodie.

  16. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What is Salah's record in GW3?

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

      5 hat tricks

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

      Blues for Allah

  17. I Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I still think Robertson is a great pick, two blanks don't change that, but I don't own Reece James who as a wing back has the potential to match Robbo for a million less. With only 1 FT would you do Robertson -> James or save?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 blanks is fine, it's the 60th min sub which is alarming.

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

        May have been the hand injury but needs explaining. Thankfully the Greek was awful. Will hold

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a move I'm thinking about as well

    4. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to keep with Chelsea fullbacks and City fullbacks on fire

    5. FPLBRAH
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I went Cucu for the extra cash but dont actually know where it'll be used yet tbf

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier, Salah to Cancelo, Sterling for free?

    1. Chris_l25
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nah not for me

  19. Khark
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford has to go. 0ITB. Help!

    Rodrigo or Harrison even though they have Chelsea?
    Eze ? Gross ? Soucek ?
    Or just drop to a DaSilva ?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gross

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DaSilva and upgrade elsewhere

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

      Rodrigo. Massively in form get him before he goes back to being Rodrigo

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

        This

  20. Rash
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is downgrading robbo to Neco worth it if I can upgrade Bailey to 8.0 mid (or gundo)

    Ward
    Trent cancelo Gabriel robbo
    Salah mount martinelli andreas
    Jesus Haaland

    Iversen Bailey trippier greenwood

    2ft 0itb

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      James in would make more sense

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best Arsenal defender?

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

      Tony Adams

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not Sol Campbell?

      2. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lol and true

      3. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Bacary Sagna

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saliba

    3. MOTHRA
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kenny Sansom

  22. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier>Perisic or Bailey>Zaha

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Trips, find another way for Perisic

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

        Could drop Neco but it feels wrong

  23. afsr
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs
    A: Rashford -> Rodrigo/Da Silva
    B: Rashford, Iversen -> Rodrigo/Da Silva, Raya
    C: Rashford, Iversen, Perisic -> Rodrigo/Da Silva, Raya, Walker (-4)
    D: Rashford, Perisic -> Gundogan, Patterson
    E: Rashford to someone else (who?)
    F: keep Rashford for his double ag Pool

  24. Zoostation
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Worth a WC to move:

    James, Gabriel, Salah and Archer

    to

    Koulibaly, Saliba, Son and Toney

    Or is this idea madness?

    1. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why on earth would you do that?!

    2. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't tell if serious

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      8 years you’ve been playing and you think this is a good move?

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

        Lol ya it’s clearly not.

        Just trying to find a way that makes sense to get Son in that makes sense.

        Not sure I fancy a -4 for Salah

    4. Zidane's Floor
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ???????????????????????????

    5. Zidane's Floor
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      from those only Son and Toney for Salah and Archer could pay off imo

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

      I sanction this move, do it now

  25. Ostrich Baby
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Team is:

    Ward Iversen
    TAA Cancelo Trippier Dalot Neco
    Bailey Andreas Salah Son Neto
    Haaland Jesus Archer

    Planning on Dalot, Bailey and Neto to Patterson, Dasilva and Rodrigo or Martinelli for -4.

    What do you think?

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

    Would you transfer out Neto for Dasilva? I have 2FT so I have to use one somewhere or just burn it.

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

    Who would you play?
    a. Williams
    b. Aaronsen

    1. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Williams looked v attacking v West Ham

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

        Thanks. Aaronsen looks skilful but not sure he’s going to make it in FPL terms

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

    Would you loose robbo for James or we will keep a faith in that double pool defence?

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

      He's gone

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Double pool d probably unwise atm

  29. Wings Fan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this? 2 FT

    Ramsdale - Ward

    TAA - Walker - Trippier - Dalot - Neco

    Salah - Martinelli - Aaronson - Bailey - Pereira

    Haaland - Kane - Jesus

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Look at shift Bailey

  30. klopptimusprime
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling. Advice appreciated. 2FT, 0.0itb

    a) Robbo + Bailey to Ake/Walker/Perisic + Martinelli
    b) Robbo + Archer to Saliba + Toney
    c) Other

    Sanchez
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - James
    Salah - Saka - Aaronson - Bailey
    Haaland - Jesus

    Ward - Neco - Andreas - Archer
