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

      If I were using WC, I’d consider 3-5-2 to fit in Mads, Zaha, etc…

    5. asr
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There is a reason why Maddison was the most transferred player in

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Baring in mind Ward is in goal ......

    2. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A ward special perhaps

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

    One more Maddison goal, a clean sheet, save and bonus point, and I make that a round 100pts

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

      A lot to ask one guy for tbf

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

    Henderson was most unhappy at that Barnes strike!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      De Gea wasn't anything better yesterday too

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

        Neither De Gea or Henderson are good enough for ManUre

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  17. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Could the Maddison & Barnes double up start reeling in the places I lost by not capping Haaland?! It's on anyway?!

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

    Maddison seeming pretty essential with his upcoming fixtures.

    KDB + Bailey > Foden + Maddison worth considering?

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

      No to KDB > Foden but defo try bring Madders in!

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

    Renan Lodi plays for Brazil.

    Leaves Atletico for Nottingham Forest. What a bad choice.
