At the weekend, Faubert started for West Ham at RB and Denilson started at RM for Arsenal. Should these players now be eligible to play in these positions in PTG teams?
PTG - Faubert has now had Right Back eligibility added to his profile, however we will not be adding any extra eligibility for Denilson at this time.

Sorry, can you please explain the rationale behind your answer to Phil's post.
The Sunday Times showed Faubert and Denilson starting as per Phil's e-mail (and Eboue at LM) yet only Faubert is being updated?
There may well be a logical explantion but it is not obvious at face value.
PTG - The graphic in the Sunday Times shows Eboue starting at RM and Denilson at LM.
Phil (and yourself Bob H) queried Denilson as a RM which we checked. After checking again, we are now happy to say we are adding LM eligibility for Denilson.

Hi! it seems that Belhadj from Portsmouth started at LM will this be added? thx Paul
PTG - Belhadj started the game against Man City as a Left Back and therefore is only eligible as a LB in PTG.

I'm a big fan of playthegame but despite it excelling in lots of areas I find the injury/suspension page particularly un-useful. To me it seems strange that a player listed as doubtful goes on to start in the game(s) list.(I found at least 2 yesterday). Maybe an extra category could added such as "could feature" or "probably on bench".
PTG - Thanks for your comments Rob. As we are sure you can appreciate, the classification of 'injured' players is far from being an exact science. There will be instances where players such as Defoe were classed as doubtful, as reported by many sources in the match previews, but then went on to actually play. Whilst we provide the injuries/suspensions news as part of the PTG service, we can never guarantee it is 100% accurate and would suggest checking other sources as well, especially as the games get closer to kick-off and line-ups are announced.
We are actually looking at making some changes so that it is easier to identify players that are marked as 'doubtful' on the 'Manage Team' page so that it is clear that these players might still make an appearance.

Why hasn't Elano being credited with an assist?
PTG - Scoring has been updated to reflect Elano's assist from the match against Wigan.

Is Armand Traore going to receive an assist for his part in Crouch's goal? His shot lead to the goal. If not can you explain why?
PTG - Armand Traore has not been credited with an assist for the Peter Crouch goal because Traore actually had a shot that was saved by Gomes and the ball ended up at the feet of Crouch to score. The ball would not have arrived at the feet of Crouch without the significant deflection from Gomes. Check clause 15.2 (b) in the game rules for more details.

Love the Game. Just a quick question...
Danny Higginbottom, currently marked only as a centre back, but he has started for sunderland and stoke this season solely at left back. Any Chance of changing it?
Thanks for the great service you provide, streets ahead of all other fantasy manager games.
PTG - Thanks for your comments Michael. Higginbotham has now got LB eligibility.

Paul Mcshane has played right back equally as much as centre half for Hull this season is there any chance of his positions being updated?
PTG - We have now awarded McShane RB eligibility.

I have recently signed martin olsson of Blackburn and he can only play centre back as well but has played left back for Blackburn in his three games this season.
PTG - Thanks for your feedback. Martin Olsson has now been awarded LB eligibility.
