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.

    4. Pep's Money Laundry

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks really good

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Almost my exact team except ive got perisic over trent and Ramsdale over Sanchez

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Salah vs united ?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, reckon KDB better pick over the next few. 1m saved and happy to risk with Diaz

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yep contemplating Salah to KDB

    4. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah but prefer Zinchenko to Trippier due to the fixtures

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        And tomiyasu to neco

        1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Trip will be benched for his fixtures but like him. And Zinc may lose LB spot to Tierney

    5. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ok WC too. We have 8 players the same which Is nice to see! Love the City double up and has similar thoughts about Diaz covering pool attack or Kulu doing same for spurs. Trips is decent too

      I can’t resist salah vs United though so going:

      Sanchez (ward)

      James, TAA, Cancello (Henry, Williams)

      Salah, KDB, martinelli, zaha, dewsbury hall

      Jesus, Toney (archer)

      Love your team but cs t resist salah vs United!!

  3. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Cucurella has to be a fixture going forward right? Or will we see Chilwell play instead of him?

    Can't see him playing as a LCB personally(maybe rarely), just doesnt suit his game imo.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tuchel gave praise to Cucurella after the game

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cucurella is tuchel's signing, chillwell is not. I'd be concerned if I was Chilwell

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Good point really.

    3. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both him and James had a good game against us

    4. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all.

  4. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Guess Liverpool will keep Firmino then. Wah heavily linked to Juventus earlier.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why was he not in the squad tonight?

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I was just half-listening to Klopp post-match interview sounds like he's back against Man U (maybe a niggle?)

      2. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Brushing my teeth.

  5. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ladies and gents. I give to you.... a massive L..

    Wildcarded to put nunez in before Haaland price rise. Now got Haaland back in

  6. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    had 2 FT but thinking about WC now
    how about you ?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same boat

    2. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No way - just take a hit and fix it

  7. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth a FT later in week if Bailey looks likely to drop? Don’t really like any of the other options at 5m - Xhaka or Jensen …

  8. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I didn't catch anything after the red. Can someone explain the Robbo substitution please?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently it was tactical

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bad decision......Palace attacked Tsimikas and had some joy.....didnt understand why Robbo was taken off

    3. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Klopp did Rage transfer in middle of the game. He had Robbo and Trent

  9. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Enjoying the halloumi fries on offer at McDonalds at the moment. The share box really fills the gap if you're feeling peckish

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Only 3 fries though, bs

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        12 in the share box 😉

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't rate them. And I love Halloumi fries

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The mozzarella dippers are my favourite

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Never heard of them

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Don't see the point in the breadcrumbed covering on them. Not with hallloumi.

    4. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      McDonalds all about the Homestyle Syltede Rødløg burger 😉

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        WTF is that?

  10. unido
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best 8.0 option with Salah in squad

    Anyone better than Diaz?

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Foden I reckon

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maddy is so under the radar, its untrue. His form from last season has continued into this season

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yep I like him

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kulusevski

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kulu

  11. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Set got the weekend?

    Raya
    Trent, Walker, Neco, James, Saliba
    Martineli, KDB, Salah,
    Jesus, Hauland

    Ward, Andreas, Bailey, Taylor

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What do you plan to do with Bailey?

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Holding for now used my FT’s

  12. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rodrigo the real deal or an early season flash in the pan? I haven't had a chance to see Leeds play

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t like his next 2 tbh
      After that I’m interested

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently was good in pre season so has form

    3. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Meh. Second goal was going in and he stole it on the line. Not sure, he has the potential to massively flop

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He won't keep it up.

    5. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd consider bringing Rodrigo in, but not for Gwk 3 as Leeds have Chelsea. After that, their games get a little easier.

    6. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ted was talking him up today and seems to have decent stats too

    7. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His minutes aren't safe as siniestra should take his place apparently. Source; anayltic fpl - saw him post about it on twitter today.

  13. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best £4.5 goalkeeper?

    a) Sanchez
    b) Raya

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez but Hendo good pick too

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B or Hendo

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Raya - BRE fixtures

    4. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Really like Sanchez

    5. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Easy.
      Raya is the better keeper
      Sanchez has the better team

  14. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which defender to go for?
    A)Walker
    B)Cucurella
    Considering Robbo + Neto —> Cucu/Walker + Martinelli and 1.3m ish in the bank.

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      James worth the 1m over cuc

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Already Have James and Cancelo

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Walker

    3. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A)

  15. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Yay or Nay?

    Robbo & Neto -> Cucurella & Diaz (-4)

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bit sideways

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yay

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nay

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not convinced it’s worth a hit but surely cucurella and Diaz outscores Neto and Robbo? Or do you not think cucurella is nailed?

    4. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yay for me

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nay.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Apart from the goal Diaz has been poor for a good while

        1. Prison Mike
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Good point… Maybe too knee-jerk!

    6. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Feels lateral move not worth -4 in my opinion

    7. Eugeniekwh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yay but not for -4

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        My thinking as well

    8. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No for hit

  16. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really tempted to move early on Salah to KDB.

    There is just something about KDB this season. Top scoring player in the game if he stays fit.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Absolute magician KDB but Salah against Manutd next..

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I expect a response of some sort from Utd.

        KDB is just so central to everything. Has free kicks and corners too. He has so many routes to points.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What about when October comes along and he starts protecting himself against injuries so that he doesn't miss out on world cup. Something Salah doesn't have to think about

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        When De Bruyne looks at the current Belgium squad he will think why bother resting for WC.
        The golden generation is over.

  17. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    rams
    walker taa james janson (neco)
    salah mount martineli (bailey rodrigo)
    mbeumo haland jesus

    which ?

    a) g2g, will likely lose 0.2 from mount & bailey drops
    b) mount -4 to kulu/gundo/madds/gross/8.4 mid.
    c) bailey -4 to dasilva/5.4 mid.

  18. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A. Bailey > DaSilva
    B. Bailey + Gabriel > Gordon + Saliba

    Or any other ideas?

    Raya 4.0
    TAA James Gabriel Walker Neco
    Salah Martinelli Bailey 4.5 4.5
    Haaland Kane Jesus

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why sell Gabriel?

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        To fund Gordon at 5.5

        1. BrockLanders
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Gordon and Everton are rubbish

  19. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bailey & Robbo to Zaha & Cucarella for free?

    Yay or nay?

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah it's nice. I want Zaha once his fixtures turn tasty

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        His next 5/6 are very decent

        1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Gameweek 10 for me

    2. Eugeniekwh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes thinking of doing similar too

  20. Eugeniekwh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of doing this

    bailey robbo > Diaz and rico henry (bench)

    yes no?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks OK, if for free

  21. Farke in hell
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Yeah Diaz had a brilliant goal. But this performance smacked of pre Klopp era mediocrity

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What? They had like 27 shots tonight. Just couldn't convert. United may get the converted ones next week

  22. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is James worth 1m over Cucurella? Is James rising tonight?

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      100%

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

  23. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool look out of sorts. Wouldn't be surprised if UTD step up next week and cause an upset after the humiliation they've been through. Fairy tale I know...

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The balance doesn’t seem right, but then again Utd are so imbalanced they’re falling over

  24. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The fact that tripper looks to be rising to 5.1 makes the straight swap to Cucu a little less appealing as it means I can't grab him back after Newcastle's tough run of games.

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you can bench trips then do it

  25. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Neto to drop in price tonight?

    Cheers.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Oh ffs

    2. MOTHRA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

  26. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any other White owners around? Worried he couød lose his place

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think Arteta wants a right back in the mould of White because he wants that inverted system where the left back maurades forward. Tomiasu was asked to do the same as White and he is not better. White stays in the team.

  27. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any price change site worth its salt as an alternative to fplstatistics? Since it is down…

    Toneys price rising tonight?

  29. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
