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

    First green in arrow in 4 GW's!

    Gone from a miserable OR of around 2m to a less miserable 1m 😀

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

    Still don’t know why I’ve picked Iversen over Ward on a WC

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

      Who is your first keeper?

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

        Guaita

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

          I did the same, I'll just ride it out now until GW16

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

      I mean, had that easy thought that playing Lei GK could be nice but completely lost it seconds after

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

      Ward wont keep many cs tbf

    4. Firmino
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Blame the experts! Can't believe they advised that Iversen is a fine pick.

  3. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    CS, 1 save point and 1 BAP. End the season now!

  4. It's Fergie Time

    Ward with 1 bonus!! 8pts.....

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

    Ward Bonus point. Unreal what a goalie!

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

    Ward, Castagne & Maddison. Feasting!

  7. SirWenger
    • 3 Years

    8 pointer to Ward my GW12 captain!

  8. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Exact funds to do Martineli > Bowen.

    Yes or no?

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

      Depends how many City and Arsenal players you have in total?

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        4 inc Marti

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

          Tough decision. Trent didn't do too well against Trossard on that side but West Ham do have great fixtures.

  9. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ward away to Bournemouth or Raya away to Newcastle?

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

      Ward all day erry day. We will never see his like again.

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

      Please don't get carried away 😛

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

      Legitimate case to go Ward, although god knows how Forest didn’t score tonight.

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m playing ward over Pickford I think

  10. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I stuck with Ward in a wildcard. Can’t stop crying. Got Maddison too

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Same except left Ward on my bench and played Pickford

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve had Ward and Iverson every game

  11. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Real GOATs were those who risked playing Ward. Well played.

    Well deserved points for those who played Ward.

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

    My patience with Ward has been commendable, most deserved 7 points ever I must say!

  30. Saka White Rice
