Pascal Chimbonda played left back against Manchester United on Saturday.
I also see a number of forwards have the right/left midfield option. I would have thought Robbie Keane falls into this category as this season he has often played part of a match at right or left midfield.
PTG: Pascal Chimbonda now has eligibility as a Left Back. Players are given eligibility based on their position at the start of a match, so extra eligibility is not awarded if they spend some of the match playing in a different position. Eligibility is also not awarded if a player comes on as a substitute in a different position.

What about people like Jamie O'Hara? He's played at LB and LM for spurs, but he's only available as a CM!
PTG: O'Hara's eligibilitywill be updated when he starts a Premier League match in a position different to Centre Midfield (substitute appearances do not count towards eligibility)

What criteria do you use to determine additional eligibility? They seem remarkably haphazard! Poor old Kilbane had to appear at LB what seemed like about 47 times before he qualified and now Cisse at Reading has been selected 3 times in succession at CB without recognition! I'm sure there must be others that I'm not aware of. Enlightenment please!!
PTG: We have published a blog entry to clarify the rules
