Alan Hutton plays at right back, and that's where he made his debut for Spurs. Surely he should be eligible to play there in this game?

There is a real dearth of left backs in this league - can you not convert some utility left midfielders.......
PTG: Only if they have started a Premier League game in Left Midfield (substitute appearances do not count towards eligibility)

Is david murphy not a left back? Will Steinson from bolton have right back status added?
PTG: David Murphy is now eligible as a Left Back. Gretnar Rafn Steinsson is now eligible as a Right Back. Both players were added as Centre Backs in error.

Surely Phil Bardsley is a RB, no?
Played there his entire Utd. career and played there against Liverpool on debut for Sunderland
PTG: Phil Bardsley is now eligible as a Right Back. He was added as a Centre Back in error.

While we're on the subject... didn't alan hutton fill in at left back at the weekend?
PTG: Alan Hutton started the match at Right Back and so is given eligibility in this position. If he starts a match for Tottenham in the league at Left Back then he will be given eligibility in that position.
