Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes on Monday, with Leicester City v Nottingham Forest getting underway at 20:00 BST.

Both teams have found it tough going so far, occupying the bottom two places in the table.

The Foxes suffered a 6-2 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur before the international break, while Steve Cooper’s side went down 3-2 to Fulham.

Brendan Rodgers makes just one change from that defeat, with Jamie Vardy coming in for Patson Daka. The latter is a substitute, having recovered from the illness that forced him out of the Zambia squad and briefly hospitalised him a week ago.

That means Danny Ward continues in goal, despite conceding 11 goals in his past two games, with James Maddison – owned by 10.6% of FPL managers – taking his place on the right of Rodgers’ 4-3-3 set-up.

As for the visitors, they make three changes.

In come Cheikhou Kouyate, Lewis O’Brien and Jesse Lingard, with Willy Boly, Ryan Yates and Remo Freuler dropping to the bench.

Morgan Gibbs-White, meanwhile, picked up an injury with the England under-21s, but is fit to start, and could potentially take up a deeper midfield role alongside O’Brien.


GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Ward, Castagne, Evans, Faes, Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Iversen, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Amartey, Daka, Praet, Thomas, Soumare

Nottingham Forest XI: Henderson, Kouyate, Cook, McKenna, Williams, O’Brien, Gibbs-White, Lodi, Lingard, Johnson, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Mangala, Surridge, Yates, Freuler, Aurier, Dennis, Boly

    What’s the average GW score around these parts you reckon?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      64 points

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mid 60’s. I’m sure there were some monster scores around too.

  2. Forever In Our Shadow

    Come on Maddison. Do something will you please!

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

    I'm not expecting much but having something to get excited about with James Justin would be nice!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would a yellow card suffice?

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

        Considering he'll have run out of celebrations after his first two goals, taking off his shirt for his hat-trick is acceptable.

  4. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Disappointed that Iversen isn't starting but I'll take the Ward clean sheet

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      0-0?

  5. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ward brace, I can feel it!

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Brace of OGs on the way

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neck brace is the most you can hope for.

      1. Ingstagram
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha

  6. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Can this be the GW that Ward gets me 3 points?

  7. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    4-2 or 3-1 to Leicester City?

    I called the 3-1 Arsenal result and got the Crystal Palace v Chelsea score draw elsewhere.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      my bad

      The Liverpool v Brighton score draw.

      Also got the Chelsea win as it happens.

      A busy day!

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Think its about time Williams got a double digit haul.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Does Barnes score?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Madders 2

        Barnes 1

        and

        ... that's it? Or Vardy too

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          was that more

          or less

          than half right?

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

      4-0 Leicester.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Big rivalry with Forest.

        Not quite like Derby v Forest but a tasty East Midlands encounter.

  8. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will Maddison get 11 points?

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

      Yes imo

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

    So another average week comes to an end. Unless Ward scores more than 2 points in which case all else is forgiven

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2 penalty saves?

  10. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison Brace please

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

      Let's go Maddison!

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

    Have Ward and Maddison playing.
    Expecting the usual disappointment.

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

      Stay positive

  12. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

  13. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I will cry if Ward keeps a clean sheet, will probably go down as a historic moment in epl

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

    If it's two goals for Maddy then that's fine

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

  25. Deulofail

    Maddison assist wasted, you Dewsbury Fool!

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      On the plus side, Maddison looking sharp

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not sharp enough to be on the end of the ball from Vardy across an empty net!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

        Never too late. Sure Jeff Stelling uses it with regularity. Good on 'im, too... 😀
