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

    102p and yet I'm still kinda pissed off because of Mitrovic and Sinisterra.

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

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

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

      Glass half empty kind of guy..

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

    Very early thoughts but what do you think of Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli to James and Zaha -4?

    Exact funds

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

      Did you have the Gabriel triple up with Jesus too?

      I don’t know if I’d do that before James plays in Europe

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

        Won’t make the moves at all until nearer the time. Not gone on losing Martinellito to be fair

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

      Yuck

  3. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

      Lol

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Most have probably owned him from GW1 tbh!

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

    Ward with a BAP!

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

    Now to get in Zaha!

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What is your idea midfield if Maddison/Zaha next two who else to include in coming weeks?

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

        My 5 are + Son, Bowen, Martinelli...

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

    107 & well into top 100k what a GW

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

      Check again, 92 highest this GW

      1. Tcheco

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Nope 😉

      3. Ram sey Coq uel in
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Don’t think so , we have 2 in our league on more than 92 , without hits as well

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well done

  7. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Rank these mid-price midfielders:

    A) Maddison
    B) Foden
    C) Bowen
    D) Trossard

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

      As they are. ABCD

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

      A
      B
      D
      C

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Agree

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

      ADBC

      Trossard talisman and more xMinutes than Foden. No midweek games for Maddison and Trossard. Bowen plays for a team with very low xG.

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Missing Bowen?

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Easy capable of monster scores?

      2. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He’s on the list (just barely though)

    5. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all. Seems Maddison is a shoe-in, still not sure on Foden/Trossard…might be a decision for after the CL game at least

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Your turn next week, JWP.

  9. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will Mitro be fit?

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

      No.

  10. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I also had sinisterra. He had scored in the 2 preceding PL matches and got a brace during the international break. However I don't know much about Leeds. Is he a hot head or was this just one of those things?

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

      One of those things. Second yellow, he wont ever do that again.

  11. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kicking myself for not doing Kane + Bailey to Maddison + Toney for a -4. Agonized over it all week

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The worst moves are the ones you don't do. In those situations in FPL if I think about the same decision for more than a day, I go for it.

  12. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Every Sinisterra point would have gained me 21k. And he goes and gets -2.

  13. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    got GW12, who would u rather ditch?

    A. Cancelo
    B. Martinelli
    C. Foden

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

      B

      City have amazing fixtures after

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

      A

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cancelo - can always look to buy back in GW13

  14. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison locked in for a rise before he was even subbed off.

  15. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    104 points, 66% rank boost from 1.3M to 468k! Never lose hope!

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

      Nice one mate, similar here. Keep the faith!

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Well Done -great GW

    3. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah mate, 100pts and 58% rise to 600k from 1.45m OR.

      Absolutely buzzing - the Leicester boys done me a solid!

  16. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Guaita
    TAA, Cancelo, James,
    Salah, Zaha, Maddison, Martinelli
    Haaland, Mitrovic, Solanke

    Ward, Guehi, Andreas, Neco

    0itb 1 ft

    Just WC to this. Think I'm going to transfer TAA straight out and bring him back for gw 12.

    Best replacement for next two weeks?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You could swerve the transfers by benching if you want. Defenders aren’t doing it. Keep eye on solake

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bench for Guehi? TAA value will drop though.

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

    Maddison's interviews are always top class!

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Quality player & decent bloke

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

      Get him on the plane

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

      One of the most honest and interesting players to listen to.

  18. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ward's cheeky little bap gives me dead on 100, knew he had it in him.

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

      Played Iversen. Still 104(-4).

  19. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Yes, I’m considering the ol’ James/Chilwell double up on my WC

  20. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Lots breaking the 100 barrier today. Congrats to those who did. Could be the week where lots get their season going.

    I got 97 but it I’ll always remember it for selling Foden! Still, small steps - from 1m to 417k. Could have been more but got to enjoy the greens in such a dismal season

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Madders yellow ruined it, 98 all out

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

        Ha! Darn that point that got away!

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

      Ward BAP gives me 93pts.

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

        Arise, Sir Danny!

  21. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha or Bowen, tempted to go Bowen on ownership?

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t like Zaha’s fixtures actually

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Just gone gut, Bowen

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

          I went Zaha on gut - may the best gut win!

      2. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        In that case, do you ever?

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

    Madders future pundit

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      quality & all his competitors are not a dead ball expert like Beckham?

  23. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Didnt Captain Haaland - rank 17k to 118k
    Capped Maddison - rank 118k to 8k
    Maddness

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

      Early days...

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        For sure, I always bottle it haha

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Differentials

    3. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why is that madness? You had a good gw but would have been 5pts. better off if you captained Haaland.

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Wasnt a good gameweek before today, Maddison returning turned my huge red into a green,. a rollercoast ride is all i mean by madness

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

      You would have had better rank with Haaland(c) and Maddison.

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        For sure, I thought id blown it by making another silly captain call, bailed out by Maddison

  24. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Horrendous week. Didn’t captain Haaland. Still have WC

    Original plan was Jesus out this week

    Pope
    Trip. James. Trent. Cancelo
    Salah. Martinelli. Paqueta

    Trent to James or Cucurella?

    Rest is Pope - Ward // Trippier - Saliba - Struijk - Neco

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      James

  27. Ian Davis
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A) Salah/Mitrovic to Foden/Kane?

    B) A) Salah/Mitrovic to Bernardo/Kane?

    C) A) Salah/Mitrovic to KDB/Scamaca?

  28. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    TAA and Gordon - > Guehi and Maddison for 2 FTs? Yay or nay?

    Team would be:
    Ward
    Cancelo Trippier James
    KDB Maddison Martinelli Mcallister
    Haaland jesus Mitrovic

    Sanchez; Guehi, Andreas, Neco

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Have you got Wc

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yup

  29. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on Mitro?

    If I need to sell him it will cost me -4 to field an XI in GW12. Could play Andreas or Neco (if he keeps his place) in meantime

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

      No idea. I will keep as long as he comes back in GW12. Saliba and Neco can play in the meantime.

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

        Neco can't still be a consideration after today surely?
