Gameweek 18 concludes with three games staggered throughout the day – Arsenal Vs. Wolves, Swansea Vs. QPR, and Norwich Vs. Spurs. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and following the action as it unfolds, so venture in and share your views on all of today’s events.

The team sheets from The Emirates are in…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Djourou, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Benayoun, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Forde, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, Hunt, Fletcher.

For the first time in the league this season, Yossi Benayoun is named in the starting eleven for the home side, whilst the visitors – playing with a lone striker today – hand a Premier League debut to 18-year-old winger Anthony Forde.

Over six hours of football is almost upon us – enjoy it in our Dugout Discussion chatroom which can be accessed right here.

            I may join you, getting utterly fed up of FPL this year I am getting no luck at all.

              Chin up Ajay. We're not even half way through yet. I had a stinking 1st half last year but almost made it to the top 100k by the end, something that looked unthinkable at the half way point

                I had a shocking first half last year, from December onwards I was top every month bar one, ended up 3rd in my ML, I just had 2 much to do and the guy who won was too consistent. I've learnt some lessons this year. There's still a wc to play, plenty of time to turn things around.

                almost 180 points behind my main mini league and over 500K. Despite writing off this season FPL wise, it is hard to keep chin up.

      That's an interesting thought. Unfortunately, I expect either Welbeck or Hernandez to team with Rooney over the short term. I think Berbatov will get 1 more of the next 5. I would love to see him go someplace where he would start.

        There is really nothing worth mentioning. Practically every choice has been a wrong one, although I swear I've 'nearly' brought everyone who's done well.
        I'm going to mix it up and gamble the rest of the season away, hopefully have some fun in the process.
