The Dugout Discussion opens for the concluding fixture of Gameweek 34, which sees 17th placed Wigan Athletic travel down the 3rd placed Arsenal. The team news for the game is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Vermaelen, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Walcott, Rosicky, Benayoun, van Persie.

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Boyce, McCarthy, McArthur, Beausejour, Moses, Di Santo, Gomez.

A single change from the side that brushed Wolves aside for the Gunners, as Tomas Rosicky comes in for Aaron Ramsey in midfield.

Despite condemning Manchester United to only their fourth defeat of the season, Shaun Maloney isn’t in the visitors squad. Jordi Gomez replaces the Malaysian born Scot.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

      Your run in is ridiculous. Think you've left it too late regardless of Wigan tbh.

      Wolves, QPR and Blackburn for the drop I reckon. Possibly Blackburn to swap with Bolton.

      Wheres the differentials then? How do you get a good rank if everyone has the same team? Of course you need messi and Ronaldo but the rest should be differentials to some extent.

        I dunno, I've never played it lol. The rest other than those 6 are your differentials surely, also you have Ronaldo, Messi but then what aboutthe others? Xavi or Iniesta?

        Anyway, differentials only help if they are scoring more...
