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

        4 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers, will play Reya - Ward don’t give me any confidence 🙂

  2. Baps Hunter

    4 years, 24 days ago

    Is mitro back vs Bou?

  3. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Would you ditch Kane to bring in Maddison?

    1. Pea Soup
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Kneejerk

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yes. But also based on fixtures.

    2. brixtonBob
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Sounds like Maddness

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      4 years, 24 days ago

      They won't be playing forest everyweek! Plus I think Bournmouth have gotten much better defensively.

  4. Paqueta Rice
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Bowen or Zaha ?

    1. g40steve
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Just gone Bowen

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Bowen

    3. Utopsis
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Zaha - penalties clinched it for me

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Zaha

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I am going Zaha no Europe on pens, the main man. I am not convinced on the hammers yet.

  5. DannyDrinkVodka
    4 years, 24 days ago

    WC draft number 2:

    Ward (Iversen)
    James Chilwell Trippier (Guehi) (Mings)
    Maddison Foden Bowen Trossard (Martinelli)
    Haaland Kane Wilson

    1. ratski
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Not far off mine but Leicester could've easily let in a few today so would think of another plan for your gk

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Who is the goalie you would recommend? Ederson?

    2. Aksekladden
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Nice team.
      Would avoid double chelsea def. Chilwell to 4.5 and upgrade iverson is my suggestion. And even then you have a couple of mill too much on the bench, but you are nicely set up for gw12.

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Why avoid double Chelsea defence? They’re going to be over 50% against wolves to keep a cleanie and GWs 10-12 are fixtures where both James and Chilwell could do serious damage. It may make sense to drop down to Thiago Silva if Chilwell is involved mid-week though. He is unlikely to have a cameo.

  6. Bobby
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Would you ditch mo, and if so for kdb or maddy?

    1. GreennRed
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Madisson

    2. Bluetiger1
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

      Maddy until GW 13 & the possible switch to KDB

    3. Bobby
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Thanks all, and def ditch mo then this week?

  7. Tinslinger
    4 years, 24 days ago

    3,644,000 > 985,377

    Back in the game.

    1. Bobby
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Jesus, what was your score this week?

      1. Tinslinger
        4 years, 24 days ago

        123

        1. Bobby
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Amazing score, also that jump in ome week gives us all hope!

    2. Nightf0x
      4 years, 24 days ago

      5m to 3m thanks madds

    3. Bluetiger1
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Wow - Brilliant GW - just goes to show how close/similar teams are this season - one GW away from moving up massively

  8. Nightf0x
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Raya (ward)
    James taa triper (guehi saliba)
    Son taverner mads zaha (sinistera)
    Haland mitro toney

    Which?

    A) mitro son -4 to kane rash
    B) mitro son -4 to bowen auba/jesus/10.6 fwd.
    C) son sinistera -4 to bowen foden
    D) sinistera to rash

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Too much feedback is never enough, huh?

    2. Aksekladden
      4 years, 24 days ago

      C

  9. Flynny
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Bad wildcard with salah captain and sinisterra. 0.1m - what to do here?

    Maybe salah and sini to kdb and trossard - 4?

    Guehi can cover mitro if injured

    Ward (Guaita)
    Taa cancelo James trippier (guehi)
    Salah maddison zaha sinisterra (andreas)
    Haaland mitro ()

    1. gonzalocampos
      4 years, 24 days ago

      TAA and Sinistierra out - get Foden + cheap defender.

      1. Flynny
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers

  10. brixtonBob
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Zaha guaranteed to blank and / or get injured if I buy him.

    1. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Then buy him. Don't want him to score, I am not touching him now.

    2. The Knights Template
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Even if you don’t

  11. FlockofSeagulls
    4 years, 24 days ago

    The Maddison (C) and Barnes double up experiment saved my gw from absolute disaster.

    85pts all out which isn't great considering other's scores but keeps me in touch in my mini leagues for what has so far been my worse start in fpl history.

    Congrats to everyone for the huge scores.

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Thank you. 93pts. Likely highest this GW

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Nice score mate but not even close to being the highest this gw lol.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Settle sir

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Imagine you had both and Haaland cap...

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah I was originally devastated I didn't captain Haaland but thank God Maddison stepped up for me. In the end I lost 10pts by not captaining Haaland which I'll take considering it could have been so much worse.

        1. Origi-nal
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Haaland 23 Madison 18 - lost 5 points.

          1. FlockofSeagulls
            4 years, 24 days ago

            Haaland (C) 46pts
            Maddison (C) 36pts

            I lost 10pts

            1. Origi-nal
              4 years, 24 days ago

              I’ll try again.

              Haaland (C) 46 + 18 = 64
              Maddison (C) 36 + 23 = 59

              1. FlockofSeagulls
                4 years, 24 days ago

                Oh I see. Sorry. Thanks for clarifying.

        2. Aksekladden
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Only lost 5

  12. banskt
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Will sell Trent. Which defender to buy:

    A) James
    B) Cucurella

    1. The Iceman
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Still prefer James with Chilwell lurking.

    2. C0YS
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A for me

    3. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Cheers both.

      Neither James nor Cucurella has been scoring points as of late.

      1. FPL Daniel
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I can see 2 or 3 CSs for Chelsea in the next 3 GWs

        1. banskt
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Yes, that's why I will buy Chelsea.

          How many minutes do you expect Cucurella to play in the next 3 games?

    4. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A

  13. The Iceman
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Evening all. 2FT.

    Martinelli > Zaha
    Diaz > Maddison

    Pretty much exact funds (leaves 0.2 ITB).

    Thoughts welcome 🙂

    1. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Just sell Diaz. Keep Martinelli.

      1. The Iceman
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks. I assume you prefer Maddison out of him and Zaha?

        1. banskt
          4 years, 24 days ago

          After today's game, yes. He is clearly in form and has some very nice fixtures.

          1. The Iceman
            4 years, 24 days ago

            Appreciate it mate. Will do that and keep the second FT for a rainier day.

  14. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Harland hattrick killed my GW, lost about 1m places I went with Kane Captain instead. Aargh

    Gundo > Zaha I think this week.

    1. HD7
      4 years, 24 days ago

      To be fair I thought me going Salah was strange. I was between Salah and Maddison

  15. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which is the best way to get Maddison in?

    A. Martinelli + Cancelo > Maddison + a 5.5 or less defender

    B. KDB + Bailey > Foden + Maddison

    C. Kane + Bailey > Toney/Wilson + Maddison

    1. GreennRed
      4 years, 24 days ago

      B

      1. Aksekladden
        4 years, 24 days ago

        This

  16. The Knights Template
    4 years, 24 days ago

    What did the algorithm team score?

      1. The Knights Template
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks. I smashed it with superior management technique.

    1. GENERATION X
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Ask Fabio

      1. FPL Daniel
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Is Fabio cheating? We need Magnus Karlsen to speak up

  17. BST
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Good scores this week y’all! Round 80 here.

    Dilemma this week. 2ft, no wildcard.

    Do I (FINALLY) need rid of Bailey before NFO? Want Maddison really. Knew he’d pop off tonight but saved it.

    Pope Iverson
    Cancelo James Trippier Neco Tanganga
    KDB Zaha Martinelli Bailey Andreas
    Kane Haaland Mitro

    As I see it, either:

    A. Kane+Bailey out for Someone+Maddison (but who???)
    B. KDB+Bailey out for Foden+Madds

    1. FF Dirtbag
      4 years, 24 days ago

      For Wilson?

  18. HD7
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I have to thank you Maddison and Ward who saved my GW. No more Salah credit because of the past. Lesson learnt.

    I am a United fan so maybe I was biased and thought the team could really beat City after the Liverpool and Arsenal matches. After Solskjaer beat City on the counter almost every time. But they didnt have Haaland. Its still interesting for me what would have happened if United played Casemiro and Fred and only one of Eriksen/Bruno. Just like Solkjaer set them up against City.

    As for Liverpool - I really thought they will be back but what I saw from VVD and TAA makes me doubt they will be the force they were last season.

    To conclude - Maddison and Ward thanks again!

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Mitrovic dropping will price me out of a move. I am feeling very frisky.

    Gabriel Marti Mitro > Guehi Zaha Wilson -8 (ex

    I reckon the 2 hits can be covered and will give me this

    Henderson
    James Trippier Guehi
    Sterling Diaz Maddison Zaha
    Haaland Kane Wilson

    Ward Saliba Dasilva Neco

    Could play Ward instead of Henderson. Haaland cap all the way!

    -8 obviously not tasteful but think GW10 is a good week to be agressive.

    1. agueroooooney
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Was the Mitro injury bad? He has good fixtures

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        4 years, 24 days ago

        We

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        4 years, 24 days ago

        West Ham away wont be easy. Plus if he is risked playing with an injury, it could be game over.

    2. Bluetiger1
      4 years, 24 days ago

      GW 12 who covers Haaland / Saliba Benched as only appears Dasilva/Nico which neither may play possible cover option for this?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I can play Dasilva. Many will have the Neco issue now.

  20. Maddamotha
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Best midfielder upto 6.8m? Trossard?

    1. GreennRed
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Rodrigo

      1. FF Dirtbag
        4 years, 24 days ago

        He looked like he meant business the other day...

    2. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Martinelli.

    3. C0YS
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Trossard

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Marti

  21. GENERATION X
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Play Ward or Ederson next week?

    1. Aksekladden
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Hell nah

  22. FF Dirtbag
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Any 4 / 4.1mill defenders that will play and aren't called Neco?

    1. GreennRed
      4 years, 24 days ago

      No but Tarkowski is 4.4m.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Lol. Tomkins got some minutes. 3.9 but wether he is going to nail down a place is to be seen. Clyne injured.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I would be WCing later in so tomkins worth the risk?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          4 years, 24 days ago

          With Clyne out he may play. Not guaranteed though

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Patterson whenever he returns otherwise you'll need to go 4.3 or you could take a risk on Emerson

    4. FF Dirtbag
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Darn my plan won't work then...

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Emerson gets you 1 pointer
      Might start in GW12 if they play a back 5 vs. tougher teams

    6. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Tomkins worth the risk if clyne out - otherwise Emerson

    7. lugs
      4 years, 24 days ago

      on a WC and currently going for Larios at Southampton, he's only 18 so nowhere near nailed but he should get some gametime as he's another youngster they poached from the City academy, who City got from the Barca academy so i assume he's good, i only need him really for gw 12 vs Bournemouth when i bench my City players so for me he's worth a punt

  23. C0YS
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Best sub-5.0 TAA downgrade option?

    A) Dalot
    B) Coady
    C) Mings

    1. GreennRed
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A

    2. POGON 1948
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Looking at Guehi personally, Dalot also good long term fixtures

    3. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Like how Everton and Bournemeouth are parking the bus.

      Tarkowski or Zemura for me.

      But, I don't have Chelsea defenders. So I will buy James / Cucurella. You could also look at a Chelsea double.

      1. C0YS
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Fair. Had both of them for GW’s 3-6 and got 1 return from each. Not worth the double-up, wouldn’t recommend it

    4. C0YS
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A lot of options, cheers all

  24. POGON 1948
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Elite managers: Form > Fixtures

  25. Silecro
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Save ft here or use it somewhere?

    Ward
    Cancelo, James, Trippier, Guehi
    Salah, Martinelli, Maddison, Zaha
    Haaland, Toney

    Guaita, Andreas, Neco, Mitro
    0.7 itb, 1ft

    Not feeling too maverick so 1ft is max i would use this week, if even that

    1. BrockLanders
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Roll

  26. Ian Davis
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which looks best?:

    A) Salah/Mitrovic to Foden/Kane?

    B) A) Salah/Mitrovic to Bernardo/Kane?

    C) A) Salah/Mitrovic to KDB/Scamaca?

    1. gonzalocampos
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A

  27. nerd_is_the_werd
    4 years, 24 days ago

    As I didn't even bother checking this GW, may as well do it now.
    Ward or Pope for GK in GW10?

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Pope imo

    2. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Pope.

  28. Sharkytect
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Has Anthony Gordon lost his place in the everton team?
    If so he and Luiz will be my route to Maddison and Zaha. (-4)

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      he is still first choice

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2022/10/03/fpl-review-mitrovic-injury-why-gordon-was-benched-trossard-treble/

      I am keeping till GW 16

      Surely better bet than Solanke

    2. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      No, I think Gordon is one of Lampard's favorite players.

    3. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I am selling

  29. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Pick one.
    A, Maddison.
    B, Foden.
    C, Bowen....

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      a

    2. The Senate
      4 years, 24 days ago

      A for just one

      Followed by C then B

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Do you think Haaland will be rested Wednesday or will he be allowed to bulldoze Copenhagen as well?

    1. banskt
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I think he will start but will be subbed after 60 minutes if City are winning comfortably.
