Player Additions

Two players who made their Premier League debuts this weekend have also been added to the ranks of PTG. Both players are listed below and were added at around 16:00 GMT on December 1st. The players are subject to the usual 48 hour notice period

Chris Basham – Bolton Wanderers
Miroslav Stoch – Chelsea

It has been bought to our attention that we failed to add Stelios Giannakopoulos of Hull City after he made his Hull debut on the previous weekends matches. The player was re-introduced to PTG at around 16:45 GMT on December 1st and is subject to the usual 48 hour notice period.

After Kasper Schmeichel made a reappearance a couple of weeks ago, we decide to make sure that there were no other players who were in PTG last year who are active or potentially active in this years Premier League. We found one player, Johnathan Grounds who has been on the Middlesbrough bench since he was called back from his loan spell at Norwich. The player was re-introduced to PTG at around 16:45 GMT on December 1st and is subject to the usual 48 hour notice period.

Stelios Giannakopoulos - Hull City
Jonathan Grounds - Middlesbrough

JC:

With regards to the news of Bridge. Will he be credited with mid filder position sooner or later? (not in a rush)

PTG - Wayne Bridge will not be awarded midfielder status at this time.

Simon Healey:

Could you PLEASE update Luke Young of AST???? He's played LB for the last THREE weeks yet he's still a RB / DEF SUB only.
It would be a big help in my (very tough) league

PTG - Luke Young now has LB eligibility

Peter:

Is it possible to give Denilson RM eligibility after he started on the right for Arsenal against Chelsea on Sunday?

PTG - Denilson now has RM eligibility.

J:

Can Luke Young be given LB eligibility after his last two starts?
Many thanks.

PTG - Luke Young now has LB eligibility

Richard Bowden:

Can Cristiano Ronaldo please be given Goalkeeper eligibility after the Manchester derby last weekend?

PTG - Although it is clear to all that Ronaldo is looking for a future career as a goalkeeper, new eligibility cannot be awarded until he starts a game in that position. Let's see what happens when he comes back from suspension....

Anonymous:

I think Kieran Richardson needs to be given CM eligibility, his last two starts were from that position.

PTG - Richardson has had CM eligibility added.

Chris Dale:

Can I just ask how Dirk Kuyt got awarded the assist for Liverpool's first goal at Ewood Park, he took a swing at the ball and it clearly came off the Blackburn defender to set up Alonso to score for Liverpool hence why Robinson was out of position as he though Kuyt was going to shoot to the left instead it came off the Blackburn defender???

PTG - The video of the Alonso goal has been reviewed a number of times and from different angles to double check, but the ball does not touch the Blackburn defender (Ooijer) at all. Kuyt takes a swing at the ball and basically misses and then in a strange twirl the ball comes off Kuyt to end up at Alonso's feet to score. Therefore Kuyt is awarded the assist for this goal.

John Weatherill:

Guys, when Juande was still in charge he played David Bentley at right back on at least one occasion (check back to the Hull game for definite), any chance of updating his eligibility?

PTG - Although Bentley did play as a Right Back, he didn't actually start a match at kick-off in that position and therefore eligibility will not be awarded.

Mark:

I think Luca Modric should be given eligibility to play as a Forward and RM as he seems to play in these positions. Last night against West Ham he played there as a Forward for 90 mins partnering Pavlyuchenko then Bent.

PTG - Modric now has FW eligibility

w j:

Tim Cahill should now be given eligibility to play as forward as he is the only one Everton have now!!

PTG - Cahill now has Forward eligibility.
