I know he is injured for a long time, but why is Ben Foster not listed?
PTG: Raju, Ben Foster is not listed because he has not made an appearance in a Premier League fixture. Players new to the Premier League will be added to the game but not until they make their first appearance.

Where is curtis davies?
PTG: Adam, Curtis Davies, the West Brom defender, is on loan at Aston Villa. However, he is yet to make an appearance in a Premier League fixture. If he does do so, he will be added to the game a short time later.

Why is this rule in place? He has been named in a squad, and it just means that no-one will be able to gain points from a players debut. At the start of the season no player whatsoever had made an appearance, yet there were loads of players on the game!
PTG: Adam, this rule is in place to keep the player pool as manageable a size as possible. While we accept that the dowside is the inability of particularly astute managers to make use of players on their debuts, the upside is a relatively uncluttered player list not burdened by the presence of players that can only be described as unheard of by all except the most ardent followers of particular clubs.

Can you change the team information on player that have left the league to "unattached" & use "UNA" for the short code used.
PTG: John, We are unable to unattach players in this season's game (though we do advise managers to avoid players in their player news sections) but we will look into introducing such a feature for the 2008-09 season.

Did you know that the Blackburn vs Portsmouth game on sunday (23rd Sept)is missing from your fixture list?
PTG: Chris, the fixture in question dropped from our internal listing mechanism twice last week. Initially, the problem was corrected immediately but returned the following day when a system overwrite returned it to our pages on Friday. This was corrected a short time later. This was purely a display issue and scoring was unaffected.
