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

    Forest are doing a good job of making Leicester look like Barcelona.
    I’d still only be looking at Maddy if you are thinking of getting Leicester players in

      Leicester have the plummest of plum fixtures and have been underperforming. Vardy back, madders in form. Load up.

    Neco plays Brighton in 12. May have to remove for a hit...

    Madders hatty needed please.

    If Leicester get a pen do you think they'll give it to Madison?

      Nah Vardy for a confidence boost!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Doubt it

    3. thegaffer82

      At this point (I.e he’s on a hatty), there’s definitely a chance. But Vardy man! He’s got a reputation to keep…

    4. jacob1989
      4 years, 24 days ago

      no Vardy needs confidence

  4. GENERATION X
    4 years, 24 days ago

    4 hatties in one weekend on?

  5. fantasist
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Need Maddison to get sent off now

  6. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Best DEF under £5m for next 4?

    Best MID under £8m for next 4?

    Go!

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Guehi
      Maddison obviously

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Fixture ticker

  7. jacob1989
    4 years, 24 days ago

    When Maddison stepped up to take the free kick, I knew he ll score

  8. Fellaini's Fro
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I've never transferred a player in to be rewarded so immediately. Everything seemed right, the Leicester underperformance to date, the consistency he's shown despite tough fixtures.

    Home game against NFO, followed by the upcoming run, seems like this is the moment Lei start their season, I am sure that's what Rogers tells his team.

    1. RICICLE
      4 years, 24 days ago

      For sure! If there was a time to turn it on, it was this GW

    2. Nomar
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Same here. Capped him too.

  9. romperstomper
    4 years, 24 days ago

    In the same way hauland is perma-captained, do we perma-transfer based on Forrest's fixtures?

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Mitrovic blanked against them

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    The 8M midfielders start claiming their worth ... Bowen Foden Maddison ...

    1. thegaffer82
      4 years, 24 days ago

      My guys. Had em since GW8.

      They have no form they said…

  11. Free Hat
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Surely Villa attack can score vs this lot

  12. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 24 days ago

    I knew Toney and Maddy would score big this gameweek.
    half right anyway

  13. FPL Daniel
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Ward was lucky that shot was blocked. No way he saves against Messi Lingard

  14. dshv
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Think of taa and gordon to fofana and maddison (-4)

  15. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Lingard took about seven touches too many here. No confidence.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Young and inexperienced, his time will come.

  16. Supersonic_
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Keep them coming Maddy you legend

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      At this pace he can match Haaland

      1. Supersonic_
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I bloody hope so

  17. Bounce
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Surely everyone owns Maddison if they're a serious manager?

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      4 years, 24 days ago

      You can see ownership stats in the game.

      It's not nice to be rude to others. People play differently.

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

      The fact he's at 28% ownership confirms you're talking a load of rubbish

      1. RICICLE
        4 years, 24 days ago

        10.6% no?

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 24 days ago

      How long have you owned him?

    4. GoonerSteve
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Nope. Would have meant a hit and losing one of Kane or KDB. Knew it would bite me. Just hope it doesn't get any worse.

    5. Kane and Ablett
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I own Maddison and I’m not a serious manager … where does that leave me? Oh yeah spending every week looking for a reason not to captain Hauland

  18. Tcheco
    4 years, 24 days ago

    If Mitro is injured surely an easy move to Watkins

    1. GENERATION X
      4 years, 24 days ago

      No move to Shi kins is easy

    2. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Watkins was decent the other day

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 24 days ago

      What a downgrade lol

  19. Rainer
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Maddison was sooooo good to owners at the end of last season too!

    Now 3 goals in a game and a half and he should have had more vs Spurs & tonight...

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      He is fighting for WC spot

  20. Gudjohnsen
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Did Foden to Maddison before this gw

    Roller Coaster ride

    1. jacob1989
      4 years, 24 days ago

      i have both!

      1. Gudjohnsen
        4 years, 24 days ago

        You must have 120 points by now this gw?

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Same. It was Saka or Foden to Maddy. Seemed rational at the time

  21. lilmessipran
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Dam one goal away from getting 3 hat trick players in one GW, never happened in 11 years of fpl for me

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 24 days ago

      fpl explosion is that

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Still time … come on Maddy!

    3. DaniCT
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Good luck with that mate. You'll not get another chance too soon

  22. Deulofail
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Turned the shower off to hear what the commotion was about, and all I heard was the crowd chanting '"you''re f**king sh*t, you're f**king sh*t, you're f**king sh*t" 😆

  23. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    4 years, 24 days ago

    So good that New York named a street after him.

  24. Kane and Ablett
    4 years, 24 days ago

    It’s finally safe for us Maddison (c) Haaland (v)’s to come out from behind the sofa, he’s over halfway to topping Haaland this gw!

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      4 years, 24 days ago

      24 hours of dusty bunnies and cat hair?

  25. DycheDycheBaby
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Ah damn. I would have 100+ points if I didn't bench Almiron lol

  26. BeaversWithAttitude
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Corner! C'mon, Madders!

  27. FPL Daniel
    4 years, 24 days ago

    No one to catch that splendid Maddison pass

  28. tryf88
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Kdb to foden to fund Maddison for free?
    Not owning hurt an otherwise decent gw!

  29. Free Hat
    4 years, 24 days ago

    At least for now happy days, but leic could easily have conceded twice against a poor side.

  30. Josh.E
    4 years, 24 days ago

    maddison, my favorite fpl player ever, some laughed at me a few weeks ago for suggesting him as a captain option on here
