After coming on as a substitute in last nights home defeat to Spurs, Diego Tristan becomes the latest player to join the list of available players in PlayTheGame. Tristan, who plays as a forward was added to the game at around 14:23 GMT. He will be subject to the usual 48 hour notice period.

I was just looking at some of my opponents teams and they only have 11 or 12 players active. Is that ok? I was under the impression that all 14 positions had to be filled for all match days.
It would certainly make things easier for me if you didn't always have to have all positions filled!
PTG - Technically there is nothing to stop you having less than 14 players in the active scoring positions, although this will obviously affect your points scoring ability and may lead to you having un-played positions at the end of the season. The only time that your squad becomes 'illegal' is if you end up with more than 20 players in your squad due to transfer activity - at this point your team will not score any points until your squad is reduced to 20 or less.

Just a quick question, I was just wandering if the FA Cup counts in PTG?
PTG - PlayTheGame scoring is based on matches in the English Premier League only. No FA Cup, League Cup or European matches have any relevance to PTG.

Some members in our league have given up on PTG and stopped playing, while others have given up and are donating all of their best players to a certain individual in exchange for injured/otherwise useless players. Is there a way to kick these people out of our league and return their players to the out of contract pool? e.g. expel a player if 75% of the league votes to expel?
PTG - Unfortunately not, once the league has formed managers cannot be removed/added. You do have the power to veto transfers, although this does require 50% of the managers to veto the transfer in order to be effective.

Would Pablo Zabaleta be also considered a mid field eligiility as he's been involved in alot of mid field actions (generating more passes than tackles). In fact he's even pushing forward much more than glen johnson for example. I hope he would be granted a mid position to max his full potential. cheers
PTG - At this time we are not going to award Zabaletta with any additional eligibility.
