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.

    Nunez misses

  2. Mr. O'Connell

    Fair play Haaland cappers. You win.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      If Salah blanks then the Kane > Haaland move is break even at best

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mate

  3. antpro26

    Appreciate any thoughts on what to do with my 2 FT. Current team:

    Sanchez (Ward)
    TAA Cancelo Trippier (Neco, Patterson)
    Salah, Martinelli, Bailey, Dasilva (Andreas)
    Haaland, Kane, Jesus

    Options are:

    A) Bailey > KDH
    B) Haaland, Bailey > KDB, Greenwood)

    Thanks!

      Haaland has Newcastle forest palace next 3.

      1. antpro26
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        As does KDB

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          No point taking haaland out

    2. All de Gea no iDier
      • 8 Years

      Come back tomorrow. We're busy right now.

      You’ve missed out on KDB’s points from gw2 pal - sorry to break it to ya

    Nunez owners in disbelief

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      People who have watched him over the years aren't.

  5. yakirh
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Andreas Pereira?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No

  6. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Has anyone scored from a corner in the Prem and if so, how is the assist decided?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Westwood did vs Liverpool, no assist.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Ahh that's a shame

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Why is it a shame?

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Just figured if someone tried to cross and the cross is blocked which leads to a corner and you score directly from the corner would've been nice to get the assist.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yes JWP did, think it was no assist

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Would imagine last player to touch the ball before the corner was conceded

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        No.

      2. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Well usually it's the opposition that's why I wasn't sure

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Plenty of times. No assist

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Dang, thanks

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Also known as a Olympic goal and JWP did it

  7. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Oh Nunez you numpty. I knew it when I put him in team gw1 that he'll miss a load of chances, but he'll get so many chances that he'll also bury a lot of them too

  8. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Robertson, you tart. What a waste

  9. Herger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Nunez is playing for a place in many of our teams and seems to be coping with the pressure of that well.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Don't know about you but he's coming in regardless

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Same for me I think but hoping it can wait until wildcard

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    People might need Wildcards to get rid of Darwin based off his first 10 minutes.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Hoping this is satire

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It's Rainer, he's the original loveable troll

  11. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool goals are coming

    1. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      So far it's reminded me of this scene in The Godfather: https://youtu.be/sJU2cz9ytPQ?t=36

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Captain obvious

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Oh here's the resident forum brainbox with his startling zingers 🙄

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Surprising your comment wasn't 15 pages long this time.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Is that your longest ever sentence on this site? My my, the educations kicking in.

            1. Jock Grealish
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Haha triggered as usual.

              1. Andy_Social
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 11 months ago

                Don't forget 'paper talk'. Might as well use your whole range of vocabulary.

                1. Jock Grealish
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 11 months ago

                  Relax bud.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It's Palace ; so total domination and then hit with a sucker punch.

  12. Herger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Uruguayan flagpole

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He's the most threatening striker out there bro

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        He’s looking lively!

  13. Jock Grealish
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    This time next week pool will be 3-0 up

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Almost forgot Eiiot is actually really decent.

  15. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Darwin has started brilliantly. Looking menacing

  16. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone seen super saints? Might have taken a break as he's convinced he's the world's unluckiest fpl player

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Don't try to summon him. Otherwise, may just be in disguise.

    2. Herger
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      The variance was never kind to him

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Might have come back under a different username. Baffles me as to why anyone would but seems to happen.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Maybe people see it as a fresh start, washing away the sins of their past troll behaviour

          1. Herger
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            True - it’s a good thing if they’re turning their back on that sort of stuff I guess!

          2. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            We can only live in hope however that attention has probably just turned elsewhere, or taken another persona.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 11 months ago

              He was genuinely the unluckiest player though

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah... Who would do that...

          1. Herger
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            No idea mate. I’ve not been here long enough to know.

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Said he wouldn’t play this season if I recall correctly

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Fair play then, a lot of people say that but then don't

  17. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I bravely just voted for Jesus as the best captain for GW2….

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did you captain him though

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      You brave soldier. Welcome home from the long war.

      Just voted, but committed?

      1. Kane and Ablett
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I must confess I don’t even have him, Darwin and Haaland up front with Fodder on the bench

  18. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Today will be the day when people realize that Nunez is a very mediocre, underwhelming player.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      :O

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Already more touches this game than Haaland last game

    3. Herger
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mate let me introduce you to Foo Fighter

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Hope so, makes keeping Kane and Haaland that much easier

  19. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Robbo you fool. Should have scored... oof!

  20. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Stop this late flag nonsense

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

      PLEASE

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  21. TheBiffas

    Today will be the day when people realize that Ayew is a very mediocre, underwhelming player.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      His dad was a good player.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yes always was a fine of Andre

          *fan

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            That's his brother. His dad was better than both.

              • 9 Years

              Oh…

  22. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Nice to have Robbo as my third striker

    1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He has been getting far forward recently. Does seem to more so with Diaz playing.

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Robertson only makes 50k a week. Less than Tsimikas.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That’s more than enough to keep him stocked up on Tunnock’s tea cakes and Irn-Bru.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      When I researched this recently Robbo was on ~£100k per week & Tsimikas wa son ~£60k per week.

      It's true up until recently than Robbo was earning much less.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Aha. Just signed a new contract then. Makes more sense. Mane was also on 100k. Not suprised he left.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Double that actually.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Understand he has signed a new contract then

  24. Random Name
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    did anyone think eze was gonna score that? no, me neither.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah that's two games in a row he's fluffed his lines 1v1. Gallagher would have buried it.

  25. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    At wat point do we ditch the Robbo/TAA double up?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tonight.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      After the goal by Eze.

    3. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’m gonna ditch Robbo after this if he doesn’t do anything, including a cleanie

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

        Ditching him ahead of United away is like doing the same ahead of Bournemouth home

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      The week before Robbo bags an 18 pointer

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Will want to keep both after their mega haul at Old Trafford

    6. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Carry on mate

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    These Robbo positions...

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I need these Robbo points!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Diaz-esque?

  27. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    20 minutes and no goal yet...

  28. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Salah just looks like Mark Noble on pens here compared to Nunez

  29. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    People selling TAA and/or Robertson?

    Hmm.

  30. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Salah BIG miss 🙁
