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.

    Done Roberston -> Cucu instead of James

    Think Cucu will get 90 mins short term atleast? Have slight regret.

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did the same although i have James already along with TAA and Cancelo.

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

        Aye slightly different situation to me, probably regret it if Cucus missing games / coming on as sub

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

      Leeds could easily score

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

        They could. Leeds are also awful at defending set pieces and Cucu is taking corners.

  2. SKY77

    Current team

    Ward
    Saliba - Robo - TAA - Cancelo
    Salah - Martinelli - Kulu - Rodrigo
    Haaland - Jesus

    WC team

    Sanchez
    Saliba - James - TAA - Cancelo
    De Bruyne - Martinelli - Kulu - Diaz
    Haaland - Jesus

      Not much different tbf

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a wc

  3. Orion
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A or B or C? Help lads…

    A) Cancelo, Walker, KDB
    B) Cancelo, Walker, Haaland
    C) Walker, KDB, Haaland

    Cheers!

    When does price rise / drop happen? I am planning to buy Cancelo and sell Bailey. Do I have one more day left to decide?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      could go either way

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

      Cancelo and Bailey are not likely to rise/fall tonight. You have an extra day to decide at least.

      There are websites showing the most likely price changes each night.

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        200k have got rid of Bailey this round, watch for a last minute rush.

    3. NATSTER
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 AM UK time. Prediction sites say we have one more day to think.

      But, bare in mind, it's just a prediction.

  5. Under my Cucurella
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Are price changes at 2:30 at the moment?

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

      Roughly then

    2. lugs
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  6. Toked
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best Midfielder for 5.5?

    Looking to swap out Bailey with .5 iTB

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

      Slim pickings tbf

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

        Very much so, leaning towards Dasilva currently for Brentford fixture run

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

          He won't keep hauling

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Eze I think

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

        He did look decent at moments tonight.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Xhaka for me

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

        Xhakaka

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

        Got Jesus, Martinelli and Zinchenko unfortunately.

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Whoever scored this week as they'll keep doing it

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

    Robbo Archer > Saliba Toney for free?

    Is there any better 4.5 def?

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

      Looks good

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Henry and Dunk are good for fixtures right now, but Saliba is also a very good pick

  8. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who under threat for price rise/drops tonight??

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

      KDB to rise, Dalot and a few other bench fodders to drop.

      Someone pointed out above that a last minute rush could mean Bailey dropping too.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus to rise I think

  9. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Come on and make me smile.

    There must be be some Jesus to Darwin Nunez transfers out there last week amongst the community.

  10. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more in the next 5?
    A)Walker
    B)Cucurella
    Cheers.

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is B even nailed?

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

      Close, B, just..

  11. aardvark22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale, Ward
    Salah, Mount Mahrez, Martinelli, Bailey
    Jesus, Darwin, Greenwood

    2 FT - Need to WC or just Darwin/ Mahrez to Haaland/Dasiva?

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

      Nunez & Bailey to Toney & Zaha, simples

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

        Nice kneejerk there

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

          why is it kneejerk ?, Toney is a great pick with his upcoming fixtures, and Zaha has always been a good pick who i told someone to get only yesterday

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

            Cos they both hauled this week. Not hard to understand.

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

              call it want you want, but they are both solid moves imo

  12. footballfreak
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fplstatistics not loading for me..bailey dropping tonight? Any other sites?

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

      Same

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fantasyfootballfix

      Has him about -75, not predicted to drop tonight. FPL Statistics was around about the same when I last saw.

      Anybody's guess!

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

        Cheers

    3. NATSTER
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      stats say -87.9 for Bailey at the moment

      1. syke63
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        -90 now. Needs about 16k sales to drop....Maybe.

  13. kamdaraji
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robbo out for a hit?

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

      No way

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

      Why?

      1. Sloths
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Robbo was awful tonight and Salah was wasteful.

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

          And selling them before
          mun
          BOU
          NEW
          Is clever?

          1. Sloths
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Not normally but the LIv - Man U game is looking like a big risk

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oh lord

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Every fibre of my being knows Mitoma is a bad idea but 0.1% owned. 5.0m. Those fixtures 😆

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A couple of transfer out and you've lost 0.1

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who?

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bench order OK here?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo James N.Williams
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Rodrigo
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas Trippier Archer

  16. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Trippier?

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

      Why sell him?

      1. jonny77
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Fixtures, there's an argument to doing so if you don't have viable players to rotate in for him from the bench

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Went for Gabriel. Gambling that he’ll be worth the 0.5 over Saliba/White

  17. Saka Punch
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Robbo -> Cucu
    Greenwood -> Toney (-4)

    Or

    B) Bailey to Dasilva.

    Would have to start DaSilva or Toney this week

  18. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Let the Nunez exodus begin! 😀

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      who will they go for?

      1. Sloths
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Toney? 🙂

  19. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just looking at XG a bit more - please could someone explain how the XG here is only 5.86 when the majority of the shots were in the box/6 yard box

  20. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Darwin :arrow ❓

    A. Toney
    B. Havertz

    Or, hold and save FT and get Diaz or Robbo next gw?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did A

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted by A but going for Welbeck I think

    3. Toked
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney

  21. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Son(c) home to Wolves means taking a 0.1m drop at some point this week.

    Would you keep or sell for KdB/Foden?

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

      Careful you'll get the early captain curse police onto you

  22. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is cucurella nailed in the short term? What do you lot think?

    1. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  23. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can we rename this website ‘Scouting for Kneejerks’ for a few weeks until people calm the feck down?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same every year!

    2. Sloths
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Nunez owners. chill your beans it's only 6 weeks lol

      1. Sloths
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You can't stop the cycle of desperation. You can just get a drink, sit down and watch it go round and round 😀

    3. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tis the season to be off yer trolley, tra la la la la. The World Cup plus extra wildcard has added to the mayhem.

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

    Keep Saka or swap to Kulu

  25. N00B
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2TF, 1M.0 itb so I have exact money for these moves:
    Robbo and Bailey > Cucurella and Diaz

    I think Bailey will fall tonight so I need to decide.

  26. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which option

    A. Rashford to up to 6,9m mid and save other transfer

    B. Robbo and Rashford to Cucurella/Walker and Diaz

    Thanks

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

      B for me. Not convinced by pool defence at the moment. Think they will always create chances and Diaz is a shoe in to start now after tonight.

  27. DangerFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?
    Raya,
    James, Cancelo, burns, neco
    Kdb, Luis Diaz, martinelli
    Jesus, Kane, haaland
    Subs - ward, Patterson, da Silva and andreas

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good tbh… be tempted by Sanchez over Raya and maybe Mee over Burns?

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

      No Salah or Trent?
      You'll get stung

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

        Have both them currently and I think I'm going to risk it. Think the form kdb is in he can match salah and don't fancy pool to keep clean sheets at all. Kane is a nice differential (17% tsb) to have and some nice fixtures aswell. Everyone has the same template, fortune favors the brave...I think

  28. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2FTs on Mount, Trippier to Martinelli, James and gtg??? Leaves 1.3itb to upgrade Bailey.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Robo Nico
    Neto Salah Martinelli
    Jesus Haaland
    (Ward, Andreas, Bailey, Archer)

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

      I'm not convinced anymore that robbo and Trent are both worth having. If liverpool continue to concede goals then your relying on goals and assists from them. With the injuries they have at the moment I'm not sure they keep too many clean sheets, saying that they will create plenty of chances so maybe taa and Rob get involved that way.

  29. rozzo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale Ward
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Perisic Trippier
    Salah Saka Bailey DaSilva Andreas
    Jesus Haaland Archer

    2ft

    Robbo,Saka and Bailey to Cucurella, Diaz and Martinelli worth a -4?

    I want Martinelli as my cheap mid and that's the only way to go about it

    Cheers

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could keep Saka, avoid the hit and still make the other two moves?

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

        This.

        Saka + 4 can easily outscore Diaz

  30. CFC1990
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get Martinelli in for Saka? Is it worth it?

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

      maybe if you need the money, Saka will come good eventually

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No
