Some new ways to score points and slightly tweaked rules in the OP.

'New signing' is any player who joined their respective club in the summer (including any loan deals made permanent).

Hinrunde and player predictions will ideally be in by the start of the season, but the top scoring new player is open until Matchday 4.
