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

    9. JELLYFISH

  2. diesel001

    Leicester playing like they think a 9-0 (a la Southampton) is on the cards

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Steady on. It's still Leicester.

  5. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli > Maddison paying off

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saka to Maddy for me

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Even better! I kept Odegaard for some reason

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gross to Maddison for me

    3. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan > Maddison for me!

  6. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have Haaland C but also Madisson. Did i make the right call?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How is your maths?

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Im not Camzy

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes you did

    3. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    4. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For now...

  7. Aksekladden
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lodi so bad. How many times will he get fooled by madders faking a left foot cross?

  8. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thank goodness captaining Maddison over Haaland isn't going to be too punishing.

    Heck, he can even beat him.

    Go on James!!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Amazing. Bet you weren’t happy with the decision yesterday but looks like there won’t be too much in it

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I was kicking myself. Knew the derby game could go one of two ways, still currently the wrong move, but you never know after the 2nd half

  9. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison with new tricks lol. What's with all the chops

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I actually think LFC should go for Maddison.
    They need someone with threat outside the box.

  11. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    As a Madds owner I feel I should doing more ‘look at me Mummy’ antics to catch up with those on here.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He needs to make us regret captaining Haaland.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Most ironic post of the day goes to...

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No need to finish that sentence

    3. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks for saying something about it. It feels a bit spammy.

    4. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Been quiet this weekend

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Think you're doing ok as it is

  12. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester Top 4 hunt back on

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      😆 MUN will not let it happen

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sold Jesus & BSilva to get Maddison for -4 so am I right in saying I need one more return for it to have been worthwhile?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We dont know you haven't provided enough info. Would need to see before and after XIs, as we don't know if you were starting Bilva and Jesus originally.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes would have started them, Mitrovic came in for Jesus

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends which fwd you got for Jesus

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mitrovic

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Then yes, you need more maddy points to our do the hit

    3. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm guessing the other transfer was Mitro?
      I believe you need Maddison to outscore Bilva (5) Jesus (6) hit (4).

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Correct answer.

      2. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Jesus got 8

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah well annoying he got 2 bonus from one goal. Didn’t do that when I had him lol

  14. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Southgate taking Mount to Qatar ahead of Maddison should be classed as a war crime.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mount has more mobility, but Maddison is also a very good attacking mid. Not a straight forward decision imo.

  15. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    We want more goals in the 2nd half please. No mercy!

  16. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone thinking cancelo is worth moving on after next gw and going for city triple up in attack from gw13? KDB foden and haaland what I’m considering

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you have the FTs to burn, I think Cancelo is a bit overpriced, assuming you have somewhere else to spend the money. If I were WCing in GW13 (still might), I would think, at this point, that I would likely go for 3 City attackers

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I had Haaland/Bilva/Gundo for several GWs this season, and I have to say I didn't enjoy it. Sometimes felt like my mids were competing for minutes/points. Would much rather have had Cancelo

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Just your own psychology at work, don't worry

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Got to use the wc in 13? Or you going to use it like a second free hit in 16?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Plan was GW15, but with Patterson and Neco issues, maybe I'll switch to GW13

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’s worthy of consideration. But I think I’ll probably have Kane or Salah as my second premium.
      So KDB just doesn’t fit, as amazing as he is…

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Plan was having 2ft and moving kane to salah in gw13 but kane scores every week so there’s an argument for just keeping him given pools form

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would get rid of Cancelo. Better value out there.

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fair approach but who will be the replacement defender?

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That’s a good question. No one’s looking too appealing all of a sudden after starting the season big at the back. Got James and trippier

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison owner here 🙂

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice call Foo

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well done! Deserved points

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is it going to be a Haaland captaincy fail?

    Hate when my VC outscores my C!

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hope so

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Them missed assists before he scored too, should be even closer 😆

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Extremely difficult. Requires one more goal plus one more goal involvement to get past 23 points.

  19. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I will play Neco next week. Villa can't score, right?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting take from this game.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Goals were due to brilliance of Leicester playing like City. There were some defensive erros but I doubt Villa could take advantage of that. Who in VIlla could score that free kick for example? That Barnes goal?

    2. Aksekladden
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Villa really should have scored against leeds, also before the red card.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        "should have", "would have": that's exactly what I want. As long as they don't score, I am happy. I am on "play-against-Villa" mode. Had Struijk this week, Neco next week.

        1. Aksekladden
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Fair enough

        2. Aksekladden
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I have him in my starting line up too btw, but i dont share your optimism.

  20. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Madisynn is digging me out of this mess... just need Danny Wong to keep a CS and I'm sorted.

  21. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My midfield:
    Foden - Bowen - Maddison - Martinelli

    Would you sacrifice anyone for Zaha? No money to change for Martinelli.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Foden in GW11 but honestly no rush!

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hahah not playing Neco next week based on how bad NFO is at the moment. Might even put Bailey in my starting 11...

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      *are

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would love to have Bailey at the moment. Mitro and Isak up top so considering raising money transfer either to Watkins.

    3. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bailey playing as a forward I thought? OOP players always worth a look.

  23. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who from Villa for next game?

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      None

  24. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pulled the trigger on my WC and immediately gave myself a benching headache 😀

    Kepa
    Akanji - Fofana - Trippier
    Maddi - Bowen - Saka - Zaha - Foden
    Haaland - Richarlison

    Ward, Toney, VvD, Tomkins. 0 ITB

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison hasn’t scored a premier league goal.

      Play Toney all day

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Doesn't mean he won't start, otherwise why buy him?

        The alternative is Rich + Toney >> Greenwood + Kane

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      As in, you'll have too many on the bench in GW12?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Lots of time between now and then.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          2FTs. I wouldn't pick 4 players, personally. 3 max, maybe 1-2 and save 2FTs for GW13. Everyone else seems to disagree though

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Saka becomes Trossard, other three are benched and all is well with the world. But I've got a week to tinker 🙂

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Just get Trossard now, and you save a FT/hit later. Up to you buddy

              1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Don't love his next two fixtures. At least Arsenal have Leeds in GW11.

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  And you love Trossard's fixtures after that? They just get worse

  25. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Half time so a quickie:
    Would you do Mitro+Kdb-> Kane+Foden (for a hit)?
    Even money.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't but this could be a good move.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No way

    3. Aksekladden
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If mitro is out i like this move. Also easier to bench foden then kdb in gw12.

  26. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison has been in fantastic form for some time now. It was just a matter of Leicester starting playing well and he is automatically their talisman given Vardy's age.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yea his stats for 2022 are great

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I got him on WC last GW

  27. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lets not forget Ward, halfway to cleanie

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This. Glad I kept on wc

  28. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what an incredible GW. already on 102 pts after BPS. Jump from 957k to 278k as of now!

  29. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best mid?

    1) Zaha
    2) Bowen
    3) Trossard

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody gets 2 hatties in a row

      Did not see the WHU game

      Zaha was spicy on Chelsea

      Do you have Foden already?

        I have Kdb and i intend to keep. Was Zaha good against Chelsea? He is the most logic get.

    I once lamented that I sold Bowen after one week.

    But...

    I sold him for Maddison

    I usually make one grotesque error per season. Benching Grealish during a 24 point romp on Liverpool. Selling Son before a 21 point romp on Manchester United (FPL had him Red Flagged).
