Can Essien and Bendtner be given RM eligibility as they both played in that position on Saturday. Also, Bellamy switched to LM in the second half of that match so can he be given LM eligibility.
PTG - Position eligibility is only added when a player starts a match at kick off in a new position.
Any queries regarding player eligibility should be sent to ptg_eligibility@stats.com or by selecting the appropriate option in the dropdown on the 'contact us' form under the 'Home' tab.

This is an appropriate place to ask a question that has been bugging me for two years.
I had Yuri Zhirkov at LB. He did not play on Saturday. On Sunday I replaced him with Fabio of Man U at LB. Now did I use two plays at LB or because Yuri did not play just one counted which was Fabio?
More on same line. If I have forwards who play on Sunday or Monday and I replace the two forwards that I play on Saturday do I get points for all four? What's the catch?
PTG - If a player is in your team, but does not play in a match then you will not use up any player positions.
If you play two forwards on a Saturday and then two on a Sunday, you will get points for all 4 if they play, but you will have used 4 of your 76 forward positions for the season. If you continued this every weekend, half way through the season you would have used up all your forward positions and wouldnt score any more points for forwards for the rest of the season.

Just a question.. on certain hybrid positional players..
Does a player that has dual eligibility in Midfield and backs recieve Defence Points and Successful passes points..No matter what position their played in? or you only recieve pts for the position you play him in..? So if you play him in defence you only get Defence pts towards your totals?? Not Succesful pass points
Aaron Mokoena from Portsmouth is one such player that has looks like he tallys in both categories. ?
PTG - You will only get points based on the position you play him in, regardless of where he actually plays on the pitch. If you have him in defence, you'll get defensive points. If you play him in Midfield, you'll get midfield points.
