Should armand traore be given an assist in the Spurs v Pompey game?
PTG - Armand Traore does not have the last touch of the ball before it arrives at the feet of Nugent. This in fact comes from the sliding tackle of the Tottenham defender so therefore no assist is awarded in PTG.

1. Will Marouane Fellaini have FOR eligibility as he has been playing as a striker for Everton of late?
2. Will Michael Carrick be awarded the assist for Wayne Rooney's goal in the 1-0 win over Wigan? (He flicked-on Ronaldo's cross....)
PTG - Fellaini will not have any addition eligibility at this time. The assist for Rooney's goal on the 14th January is credited to Ronaldo - the path of the ball from Ronaldo to Rooney is straight and takes no defelction from any other players.

Manucho's details need to be changed to playing for Hull - did I get the points for his appearance on saturday?
PTG - Thanks for pointing this out, Manucho is now showing as a Hull player, but don't worry his points were still credited correctly for his first game for Hull on January 17th.

Frank Lampard's last minute strike against Stoke actually takes a touch off of Michael Ballack. See the replay (Ballack wheels away and claims the goal, although no one celebrates with him). Should Lampard get an assist and Ballack credit for the goal?
PTG - The second goal for Chelsea has been awarded to Lampard
