See the Odds Edition for a glimpse of how the last competition went. Again, this has been in the works for about a year, thanks to @sallycinnamin for coming to me with the concept and fleshing out the rules.
Simply:
If your player changes club to one that another of your picks is at, that player will be ineligible with no replacements.
If your player changes shirt number to an odd one, that player will be ineligible with no replacements.

Simply:
- Pick eight Premier League players with EVEN numbers on their jerseys - one pick per Premier League side. So you could have, say Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United (#8 shirt) but you can't have Christian Eriksen too (#14).
- You can't choose the same shirt number twice - so if you pick Bruno Fernandes (#8), you can't have Ilkay Gundogan (#8) too.
- You gain one point for each Premier League goal your players score (nothing for assists).
- The following players are banned:
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Mo Salah
- Harry Kane
- Erling Haaland
- This runs from 26th December until the end of the season. Person with the most points wins.
- Deadline for submitting your list of eight even-numbered players is Monday 26th December 12:30pm UK time. This list can't be changed afterwards and you have to take the rough with the smooth. Those eight players will have their Premier League goals counted from then up until the end of the season. However, the games that were rescheduled from GW7, GW8 and GW12 will not count - so all players have potentially the same number of games to play (22 rounds from 17-38).
- The winner will get a tagline and an award.
