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

    Is mitro back vs Bou?

  3. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you ditch Kane to bring in Maddison?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years

      Kneejerk

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. But also based on fixtures.

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

      Sounds like Maddness

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

      They won't be playing forest everyweek! Plus I think Bournmouth have gotten much better defensively.

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

    Bowen or Zaha ?

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

      Just gone Bowen

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

      Bowen

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

      Zaha - penalties clinched it for me

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

      Zaha

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

      I am going Zaha no Europe on pens, the main man. I am not convinced on the hammers yet.

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

    WC draft number 2:

    Ward (Iversen)
    James Chilwell Trippier (Guehi) (Mings)
    Maddison Foden Bowen Trossard (Martinelli)
    Haaland Kane Wilson

    1. ratski
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not far off mine but Leicester could've easily let in a few today so would think of another plan for your gk

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

        Who is the goalie you would recommend? Ederson?

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

      Nice team.
      Would avoid double chelsea def. Chilwell to 4.5 and upgrade iverson is my suggestion. And even then you have a couple of mill too much on the bench, but you are nicely set up for gw12.

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

        Why avoid double Chelsea defence? They’re going to be over 50% against wolves to keep a cleanie and GWs 10-12 are fixtures where both James and Chilwell could do serious damage. It may make sense to drop down to Thiago Silva if Chilwell is involved mid-week though. He is unlikely to have a cameo.

  6. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you ditch mo, and if so for kdb or maddy?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Madisson

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

      Yes

      Maddy until GW 13 & the possible switch to KDB

    3. Bobby
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all, and def ditch mo then this week?

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

    3,644,000 > 985,377

    Back in the game.

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

      Jesus, what was your score this week?

      1. Tinslinger
        • 4 Years

        123

        1. Bobby
          • 16 Years

          Amazing score, also that jump in ome week gives us all hope!

    2. Nightf0x

      5m to 3m thanks madds

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

      Wow - Brilliant GW - just goes to show how close/similar teams are this season - one GW away from moving up massively

  8. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Raya (ward)
    James taa triper (guehi saliba)
    Son taverner mads zaha (sinistera)
    Haland mitro toney

    Which?

    A) mitro son -4 to kane rash
    B) mitro son -4 to bowen auba/jesus/10.6 fwd.
    C) son sinistera -4 to bowen foden
    D) sinistera to rash

    1. The Knights Template

      Too much feedback is never enough, huh?

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

      C

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

    Bad wildcard with salah captain and sinisterra. 0.1m - what to do here?

    Maybe salah and sini to kdb and trossard - 4?

    Guehi can cover mitro if injured

    Ward (Guaita)
    Taa cancelo James trippier (guehi)
    Salah maddison zaha sinisterra (andreas)
    Haaland mitro ()

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

      TAA and Sinistierra out - get Foden + cheap defender.

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

        Cheers

  10. brixtonBob
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha guaranteed to blank and / or get injured if I buy him.

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

      Then buy him. Don't want him to score, I am not touching him now.

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

      Even if you don’t

  11. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    The Maddison (C) and Barnes double up experiment saved my gw from absolute disaster.

    85pts all out which isn't great considering other's scores but keeps me in touch in my mini leagues for what has so far been my worse start in fpl history.

    Congrats to everyone for the huge scores.

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

      Thank you. 93pts. Likely highest this GW

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

        Nice score mate but not even close to being the highest this gw lol.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Settle sir

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Imagine you had both and Haaland cap...

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

        Yeah I was originally devastated I didn't captain Haaland but thank God Maddison stepped up for me. In the end I lost 10pts by not captaining Haaland which I'll take considering it could have been so much worse.

        1. Origi-nal
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Haaland 23 Madison 18 - lost 5 points.

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

            Haaland (C) 46pts
            Maddison (C) 36pts

            I lost 10pts

            1. Origi-nal
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I’ll try again.

              Haaland (C) 46 + 18 = 64
              Maddison (C) 36 + 23 = 59

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

                Oh I see. Sorry. Thanks for clarifying.

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

          Only lost 5

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

    Will sell Trent. Which defender to buy:

    A) James
    B) Cucurella

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Still prefer James with Chilwell lurking.

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

      A for me

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

      Cheers both.

      Neither James nor Cucurella has been scoring points as of late.

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

        I can see 2 or 3 CSs for Chelsea in the next 3 GWs

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

          Yes, that's why I will buy Chelsea.

          How many minutes do you expect Cucurella to play in the next 3 games?

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

  13. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Evening all. 2FT.

    Martinelli > Zaha
    Diaz > Maddison

    Pretty much exact funds (leaves 0.2 ITB).

    Thoughts welcome 🙂

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

      Just sell Diaz. Keep Martinelli.

      1. The Iceman
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I assume you prefer Maddison out of him and Zaha?

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

          After today's game, yes. He is clearly in form and has some very nice fixtures.

          1. The Iceman
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Appreciate it mate. Will do that and keep the second FT for a rainier day.

  14. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Harland hattrick killed my GW, lost about 1m places I went with Kane Captain instead. Aargh

    Gundo > Zaha I think this week.

    1. HD7
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      To be fair I thought me going Salah was strange. I was between Salah and Maddison

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

    Which is the best way to get Maddison in?

    A. Martinelli + Cancelo > Maddison + a 5.5 or less defender

    B. KDB + Bailey > Foden + Maddison

    C. Kane + Bailey > Toney/Wilson + Maddison

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

        This

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

    What did the algorithm team score?

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

        Thanks. I smashed it with superior management technique.

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

      Ask Fabio

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

        Is Fabio cheating? We need Magnus Karlsen to speak up

  17. BST
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Good scores this week y’all! Round 80 here.

    Dilemma this week. 2ft, no wildcard.

    Do I (FINALLY) need rid of Bailey before NFO? Want Maddison really. Knew he’d pop off tonight but saved it.

    Pope Iverson
    Cancelo James Trippier Neco Tanganga
    KDB Zaha Martinelli Bailey Andreas
    Kane Haaland Mitro

    As I see it, either:

    A. Kane+Bailey out for Someone+Maddison (but who???)
    B. KDB+Bailey out for Foden+Madds

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

      For Wilson?

  18. HD7
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I have to thank you Maddison and Ward who saved my GW. No more Salah credit because of the past. Lesson learnt.

    I am a United fan so maybe I was biased and thought the team could really beat City after the Liverpool and Arsenal matches. After Solskjaer beat City on the counter almost every time. But they didnt have Haaland. Its still interesting for me what would have happened if United played Casemiro and Fred and only one of Eriksen/Bruno. Just like Solkjaer set them up against City.

    As for Liverpool - I really thought they will be back but what I saw from VVD and TAA makes me doubt they will be the force they were last season.

    To conclude - Maddison and Ward thanks again!

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

    Mitrovic dropping will price me out of a move. I am feeling very frisky.

    Gabriel Marti Mitro > Guehi Zaha Wilson -8 (ex

    I reckon the 2 hits can be covered and will give me this

    Henderson
    James Trippier Guehi
    Sterling Diaz Maddison Zaha
    Haaland Kane Wilson

    Ward Saliba Dasilva Neco

    Could play Ward instead of Henderson. Haaland cap all the way!

    -8 obviously not tasteful but think GW10 is a good week to be agressive.

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

      Was the Mitro injury bad? He has good fixtures

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

        We

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

        West Ham away wont be easy. Plus if he is risked playing with an injury, it could be game over.

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

      GW 12 who covers Haaland / Saliba Benched as only appears Dasilva/Nico which neither may play possible cover option for this?

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

        I can play Dasilva. Many will have the Neco issue now.

  20. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best midfielder upto 6.8m? Trossard?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rodrigo

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

        He looked like he meant business the other day...

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

      Martinelli.

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

      Trossard

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Marti

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

    Play Ward or Ederson next week?

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

      Hell nah

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

    Any 4 / 4.1mill defenders that will play and aren't called Neco?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No but Tarkowski is 4.4m.

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

      Lol. Tomkins got some minutes. 3.9 but wether he is going to nail down a place is to be seen. Clyne injured.

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

        I would be WCing later in so tomkins worth the risk?

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

          With Clyne out he may play. Not guaranteed though

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Patterson whenever he returns otherwise you'll need to go 4.3 or you could take a risk on Emerson

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

      Darn my plan won't work then...

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

      Emerson gets you 1 pointer
      Might start in GW12 if they play a back 5 vs. tougher teams

    6. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tomkins worth the risk if clyne out - otherwise Emerson

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

      on a WC and currently going for Larios at Southampton, he's only 18 so nowhere near nailed but he should get some gametime as he's another youngster they poached from the City academy, who City got from the Barca academy so i assume he's good, i only need him really for gw 12 vs Bournemouth when i bench my City players so for me he's worth a punt

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

    Best sub-5.0 TAA downgrade option?

    A) Dalot
    B) Coady
    C) Mings

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at Guehi personally, Dalot also good long term fixtures

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

      Like how Everton and Bournemeouth are parking the bus.

      Tarkowski or Zemura for me.

      But, I don't have Chelsea defenders. So I will buy James / Cucurella. You could also look at a Chelsea double.

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

        Fair. Had both of them for GW’s 3-6 and got 1 return from each. Not worth the double-up, wouldn’t recommend it

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

      A lot of options, cheers all

    Save ft here or use it somewhere?

    Ward
    Cancelo, James, Trippier, Guehi

    Haaland, Toney

    Guaita, Andreas, Neco, Mitro

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

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

    As I didn't even bother checking this GW, may as well do it now.
    Ward or Pope for GK in GW10?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Pope imo

    Has Anthony Gordon lost his place in the everton team?
    If so he and Luiz will be my route to Maddison and Zaha. (-4)

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

      he is still first choice

      I am keeping till GW 16

      Surely better bet than Solanke

      No, I think Gordon is one of Lampard's favorite players.

    Do you think Haaland will be rested Wednesday or will he be allowed to bulldoze Copenhagen as well?

    1. banskt

      I think he will start but will be subbed after 60 minutes if City are winning comfortably.
