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

    Holding my breath with Ward.

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

      He’s going to let one in.

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Get off, Justin!

  5. AC/DC AFC

    How's it going at Leicester?

    Do Forest have a chance of a goal?

    Just seen Vardy taken off so no 100 up for him tonight.

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

      Leic on the break
      Nfo trying
      Leic defence still shambles imo so nfo goal is still on the cards.
      They had 3 golden opportunities to score in the game already

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        cheers

  6. Stimps

    Need 2 more point for that sweet 100

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sadly.

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

    Schar, Fofana or Zouma as Neco replacement?

  8. BeaversWithAttitude

    Lingard trying to comb Justin's hair with his studs.

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

    Tielsmans on pens but surely Maddy needs to complete hattrick if they get pens

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

      That’s what I think would happen if they got one.
      Especially when 3 up

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

    Maddison seems okay now.

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

      Thank goodness. Looked a bad one

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

    Okay, past the 60' mark, and officially on a green. Another return would be gravy, but having seen Leicester in previous matches, this could easily end up 3-2.

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

      Yeah I fully expect a Forest goal 😀

  12. Total Slotball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Lingard there with a yellow to remind everyone he actually plays for Notts Forest

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He must be used to losing by now

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

      Lovely assist earlier tbf.

  13. jacob1989

    3 years, 3 months ago

    only blunder I made this week playing Pope over Ward. And benched Trippier. But with 104 pts right now cant complain.

  14. DaniCT
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    110 points so far. Best GW in ages. Sorry for the brag.. I just have to.

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

      That’s warranting of a brag. Well played

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

      103 if Ward keeps cleanie

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

      Direct brags are fine, well done!

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

      104 here. Incredible GW

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

      Nice

    6. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Who other than Haaland have got those points for you?

      I have 0 from Trent and Mitrovic, 1 from Cancelo, 2 from James, 3 from Aaronson and 4 from Diaz and Martinelli.

      14 from 7 players! Thankfully the other four have chipped in.

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

    JWP or Maddison better Freekick taker?

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

      JWP but he does nothing in open play.

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

      JWP. But would have Maddison over him anyday for his overall ability.

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

      Maddison

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

      Equally good imo

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

    On 99 points. Need 3 Ward saves. Get shooting Forest!

  17. Sterling Archer
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If madders gets his hat trick, I wonder if anyone has haaland, foden, trossard and Madisson, has to be an fpl 1st

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

      i have 3 of them but no trossard.

  18. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Dearest Brendan. With the game won, now is the perfect time to give Iverson a quick run-out. We can all win from this.

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

      We all know the disappointment is coming don’t we?

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, and it will leave me stranded on 99.

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

          Are you sure? I’m on 92pts and that is the highest this GW.

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

    On 92pts, I think this is probably the highest this GW.

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

      Can't see that being beaten

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

        I apologise for bragging but I’m just so excited.

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

        Yup, not even by the guy already on 145, which will be 147 after subs, hehe... but anything 80+ is outstanding this week, even with Robot Boy and his hattrick.

    2. Tokyo Locomotive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Highest is already over 145

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Wow, and I thought my 105 was amazing!

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Think I might get Wildcarding drafting after tonight’s game, who are the essentials?

    Haaland
    KdB/Son?
    Bowen?
    Trippier

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

      Maybe Maddison? Though probably the fixture more than anything tonight

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

    Ward called up for England after CS tonight

  22. _Ninja_
