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

    I have to celebrate once again, I am so happy as a Maddison owner juuuuuhuuuu, get in you beauty !!!

    Now your turn lads, feel free to join the celebration for Maddison

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

    Which of the options below sounds best for getting in Maddison??Seems risky going without him with his upcoming fixtures

    (a) Downgrade Kane (not ideal before EVE, and not convinced by Toney as a replacement)

    (b) KDB > Maddison + Bailey > Foden/Bowen (rules out getting Salah (C) for GW12 though)

    (c) Zaha > Maddison, and downgrade Cancelo (sideways and not ideal before Cancelo home game)

    (d) Martinelli > Maddison and downgrade Cancelo (not ideal losing Martinelli's with his price point)

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B with Foden I think.

  26. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who other than Haaland have got those points?

    I have 0 from Trent and Mitrovic, 1 from Cancelo, 2 from James, 3 from Aaronson and 4 from Diaz and Martinelli.

    14 from 7 players! Thankfully the other four have chipped in.

    Captained Maddison this week... Wasn't so happy with the decision yesterday but not so bad after all! And yeah I know, unless he gets another goal or assist it's technically still sub optimal but hey

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Only 4 less

  28. Khark
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling and Gordon - Maddison and Zaha for free? What we think?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not a question. No brainer.

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Operation target Forest still looking the way to go.

  30. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is there a team with Haaland, Foden, Trossard and Maddison?
