Odds or Evens: Odds Edition 2022/23 | awop wins!

[Damien]

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:

• Pick eight Premier League players with odd numbers on their jerseys - one pick per Premier League side. So you could have, say Jadon Sancho for Manchester United (#25 shirt) but you can't have Anthony Martial too (#9).
• You can't choose the same shirt number twice - so if you pick Anthony Martial (#9), you can't have Neal Maupay (#9) 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 until Christmas. Person with most points wins and then in the new year there will be a new competition with even numbers only.
• Deadline for submitting your list of eight odd-numbered players is Saturday 13th August 12:30pm. 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 GW2 up until Christmas day - so goals scored in the first round don't count.
• If there are 20+ entries, the winner will get a tagline and an award.

If one of your players gets injured, you can't sub them out.
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 even one, that player will be ineligible with no replacements.

#25 Jason Sancho (United)
#27 Darwin Nunez (Liverpool)
#29 Kai Havertz (Chelsea)

@Damien is it 8 different odd numbers or can I have Mitrovic and Vardy as well as Jesus who have the #9 shirt

 

[BarcaSpurs]

Son
Nunez
Jesus
Mitrovic
Wilson
Sterling
De Bruyne
Vardy

This doesn't seem like a very well thought out game tbh unless im missing something, maybe if you couldn't use the same number twice it would be more interesting?

 

[sallycinnamin]

@Damien
I should have said from the outset 8 different odd numbers. You can only have one number 9 for instance and so on.

 

[Samid]

It's not really "FPL style" if we're not handed a budget.

Thanks everyone so far. If you can format your posts in a style similar to @Annihilate Now! and @awop with the shirt numbers and clubs that'd be great.

 

[Damien]

Son, Calvert-Lewin, Mount, Sterling, Nunez, Zaha, Kulusevski, Foden.

Son and Kulusevski are at same club. Same with Mount and Sterling.

Woops, overlooked that in the rules.

Yeah I'll try. Wanted a smaller one to start off with tbh while we get to grips with things, can iron out any flaws (like we did in the first few posts) and didn't want the top of the site overloaded with banners with the LMS, Podcast + one for this

@Hernandez - BFA still in the lead but just three picked players scored this matchweek. Hopefully MD05 is a bit more lively.

Couldn't be happier with the way it worked out. Regret the Alvarez pick. Early days I know but wish I'd gone with Mitrovic, Zaha or Rodrigo. Son hasn't obliged either. Think people's first four or five picks Jesus, Sterling and so on are the main stay but the last three picks are the ones that can win it for you. Anyway roll on midweek and think Nunez back the weekend plenty to play for. Good luck to all.

Mitrovic was a great gamble by @awop. Could have gone either way but so far Fulham are doing better than expected

Yeah i just wanted a variation because most were picking Jesus. Too bad Nunez and Coutinho have been useless until now...
