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

    Got Maddison in as part of a -8 and got a healthy green arrow, first time something's actually worked out this season

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

      I also got him as part of a -4. Hits do pay off a lot of times if you feel strongly about a player.

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I took out Jesus and Gibbs-White to get in Toney and Maddison.

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

          Yeah paid off at least. Jesus has been fantastic though.

  2. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Got a feeling we will have a Neco issue very soon…

    Aurier will come in.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No thank you, I already have a Patterson issue. And a Dervisoglu issue.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      And an Aurier issue 2 games later

  3. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Haaland (c) and Maddison (vc). Profile on Patreon is in the making as we speak. No more free advice, sorry lads! :mrgreen:

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

      Snap. With a Bowen kicker

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

    Maddison should be on the plane to Qatar. No doubt

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could probably do a better job than Macguire at CB.

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

    David Jones asking was Maddison's 1st goal on target and then saying he didn't mean the free kick...

    Bitter non-owner spotted!

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tielemans owner

  6. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Crawling out from under my rock to say I captained Maddison. We want 23 points!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well done, but still lunacy!

  7. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    1 more goal maddison in this second half please

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

      Need that too, it would be a tiny level of happiness in my dark FPL season thus far

  8. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    i captained maddison.

    Would have been amazing if United werent complete donkies.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Clothes, they are a thing.

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

        This is a bit subtle. Trying to remember what the emperor did with his.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Emperors can do what they like!

    2. confused01
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      As a utd fan and maddi capper, I couldn't agree more

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

      "Putana" means something bad in the nations of the former Roman Empire

  9. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Quick opinions;

    Would you do Mitro+Kdb-> Kane+Foden (for a hit)?
    Even money. Bit knee jerkey, but is it really?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all.

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Guess i could go Cancelo+Martinelli-> Chilwell+Foden for a City triple attack too.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        You do know City blank in gw12?

  10. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    2FT: Kdb to Foden to fund Maddison ?

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

      Not for me.

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

        Try to get him in another way though.

        1. tryf88
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          But Foden is on fire as well and costs so much cheaper why not pull the trigger?

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

      Same position. Only way is via KDB and Kane for me, and with KDB only getting assists, am strongly considering it

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes

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

    If maddy gets one more goal he’ll be on 21 if given the cs and bp. Huge for non haaland cappers

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Let's go Maddison get that hatty!

  13. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Just when I thought I was out…

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

    Williams done

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      dropped just intime gw 12 😀

  15. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddy will score 2 goals more

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2 goals score Maddison will

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Neco finished!

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      most of teams have him in gw 12 plan

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

      Aurier is a Red Card machine, so he would play some even as the backup

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

    I knew this would be the week Leicester bounced back and go on a purple patch.

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

      Well done, strangely everyone else that bought Maddison in thought the same…

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

        Still only owned by 10% to be fair

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

        Some went for Daka instead, haven't heard from any of them yet though

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

          I went for him too 😆

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

    GW12 free hitters in heaven

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

      Doubt many were relying on Neco 😆

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

        I thought everyone except FHers was relying on him. What did I miss?

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Relying on him as a body who would play, not expecting much more than 1 point from him, though.

  19. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Was on Madders (c) all week. Got cold feet and brought Salah (c) in for KdB.

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

      Damn that has to be the end

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        The end is near

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

      Oh man 🙁

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

    No more playing £4.0m defenders?

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

      Robertson soon

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

      0 > -1

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

      Wow your right

  21. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Urgh, should've just pulled the trigger and got Maddison for a hit (-4).

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

    Only minus as a Maddison owner is that I benched his goal last week. 8)

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That’s the spirit!

  23. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha to Maddison for free ?

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

      No

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes

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

        Can you elaborate?

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

      Need both

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

      No

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Lol, Zaha's fixture as good if not better. Try another way imo

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

      Pick someone else

    7. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You’re fine for gw12?

    8. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That seems unnecessary

  24. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else on the Castagne bandwagon?

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

      Looks good. I am not feeling great as Justin owner seeing Justin being actually the defending FB this season.

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

        Yeah but Justin costs pennies. He is extremely benchable. Can still crop up with the odd assist here and there. Think he's more nailed too.

  25. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Oops. One more GW12 player gone. Looking at 9 players in GW12.

  26. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    It's not going to happen, but if maddison ends up outscoring haaland this gameweek it would be my biggest back and forth swing in ranks over one day ever.

  27. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison played well the other night for England too, oh hang on.

  28. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddy thank you lad. Should have captained him instead Salaaaa’. No more Salalala for me. I know he’s gonna punish me tho

  29. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What are managers doing with TAA. Really not feeling amy Pool players

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

      Avoiding

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

      I am selling for a Chelsea defender. Maybe Cucurella. Could be James or Thiago as well.

    3. Diesel@007
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sold

    4. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping for now

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Either benching or selling. I can play Almiron over him.

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    OMG Danny
