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.

  2. TheBiffas

    VVD could have closed him but slowed...

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He’s always very relaxed

    Double Pool defence. 🙂

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stop sulking

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You obviously didn't watch fulham game

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If you punted on both from the start, it was hardly a priority transfer to shift one out after one game.

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

    Just can’t believe that…

    Got to get rid of double Liverpool defence

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

      Should be 3 or 4-0 Liverpool

  5. RICICLE
    • 3 Years

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good man

  7. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years

  8. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You're posting too much bro, nobody cares about either of your team's

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    4. Collie01

    5. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nat Phillips playing different offside trap tactic than VVD.

      1. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep Phillips was the issue there.

    6. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They should play their high line inside the Palace half.

      See if that works better

    7. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

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

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Brentford's last goal at the weekend was just as good

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

    10. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    11. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Interesting stat- Liverpool conceded first in last 6 PL games

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Congratulations, you're watching the game

    19. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Should have captained Mee or Rodrigo!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Realistically you don't own either

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I know, but I should have picked and capped one of them!

    20. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago
