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.

    Liverpool United relegation battle

    1. Random Name

      imagine united getting relegated. I genuinely think it would achieve world peace for 24 hours

    2. Bluetiger1

      Never happen but does sound funny - why so many changes for Liverpool are they taking Palace for granted?

  2. TomSaints

    So Robertson over Cancelo is being reversed this week haha

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Switched to Walker, City look more solid with Ake lol

    Liv defs is no longer relevance. Nunez looking good.

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

      Well you buy them for assists and goals . . .and TAA could have had two of the former already.

  4. Livinginapool

    Good finish tbf.

    Zaha's reasonable value at 7m

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

      Great finish and definitely an option.

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 7 Years

      I am thinking of rolling the dice on him to replace Bailey

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

        Great upgrade. He was already on my Watchlist. Other than City, his fixtures aren't bad

  5. Bushwhacker

    Liverpool games are so predictable these days. Called that ten minutes ago. We don't score, sucker punch incoming. . .thanks Nat.

  6. Herger

    Nunez close again

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

      Not that close 😉

  7. MIGHTY JOE

    VVD at least looked cool as a cucumber while Zaha curled that one

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah strange, was just thinking that, didn’t even try to put in a block.

  8. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sat on the halfway line playing against Zaha. Madness really, no need for it to be that high a line.

  9. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robbo owners, there is hope of an attacking return. He looks threatening

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ward matching Alisson 🙂

  11. Livinginapool
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure I'd want to take out Robbo before Man U, whatever the score here

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Zaha EO?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      7%

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Palace will score against Man City in GW4 too

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

      Probably

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      City’s ultimate bogey team

  14. DRIZ ✅

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

            Robbo goal
            (then 'would be lovely')

            Found it funny tbh, reply was literally straight after so didn't tease that much. Although understand fake posts.

              I got banned again other week for saying “Kane goal close”

  16. Mr Arsenal

    Palace will score again too much space inbehind

  17. Kodap

    So, people with both Trent & Robbo, what you doing? Losing ground quickly to rivals who have city double up..

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

      Plenty have both double ups.

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm holding for at least another week.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping. Also have a Man City double up.

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

      Earmarking a Robbo out move (+ Bailey) in GW4.

      Although not ideal as Liverpool have Bournemouth that week.
