Welcome to Season 5 of the Aviva Premiership fantasty rugby game. Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to. If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (Ozzy3213) as to how the situation will be resolved.
Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (me) will remove players at it’s discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.
Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the matchday 22's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have a listed senior academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the senior academy must be under 22 years of age as of 1st September 2012 (therefore must have been born on or after 1st Septmber 1990). Players who are under the age of 20 (so born after 1st September 1992) AND are in the academy of the club that you are managing in real life, DO NOT need to be listed as senior academy players as part of your 20, but are available to you in this game and cannot be poached by other clubs without paying you a fee.
Should a player not listed in your 20 senior academy players, but part of the clubs academy in real life move clubs in real life, then you will have first option of promoting him to your listed senior academy. If you choose not to take this option he will become property of the club that he moves to in real life in this game.
Transfers wrote:
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.- Domestic (Championship and below)
Each team may during the season purchase no more than 3 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Championship/National League bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on it's own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.- Foreign
To make a foreign transfer (i.e from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
Foreign transfers will unlimited during the off season and 2 during the season. The exact dates of the two transfer windows during the season is to be confirmed.
Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation
Compensation will be paid as follows
£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other
If a released player plays in real life for a team outside of this game he will be deemed to have returned to that team. If not then he will be deemed to have signed for a Championship side. If another manager wants to pick a released player up, they will have to bid for him in the same way as for a foreign or Championship/National League player.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be Heineken Cup, Amlin Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A thread will be put up for managers to name their teams on Thursdays, then on Fridays, managers will post the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.
In addition, each team must have the following:-
At least 10 England qualified players in your matchday 23, and at least 5 of those must be in your starting XV.
At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.
All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).
If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.
Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.
Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.
Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point for a first offence, two for a second offence and so on.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.
£1.5m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc.
AP finishing positions.
Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m

Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million

If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (ozzy3213) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

I really like Peranara Matt but 9 is an area which I have earmarked for EQ players so wasn't worth a big buy.
Coudn't resist Denton at 32 though.

What number does Sona Taumalolo play? I know he's scored a lot of tries, which made me think that as a prop he cant be all that bad...
Some good signings being made so far!
Anyone wanting to bulk up their English then:
Chris Whitehead
Ben Moon
Jake Abbott
Jackson Wray
Jack Wallace
Also:
Alexander Lapandry

Correct steve, 1st July squads must be under new limits which gives everyone ample time to ensure that they are. I will be enforcing the penalties for being over the limits strictly from that date.

Just watched that game Chris, was the highlight tbh lol.
Kitshoff was fantastic though, gave JdP loads of issues.
Just watching the Chiefs v Bulls game now, some great rugby from the Chiefs.

Thought that was coming, no great dramas really as he's been poor and it gives JJ a chance.
I really hope Farrell doesn't move back into midfield.

Just watching Brumbies v Reds, Steve Walsh is complete idiot.
Didn't know Hooper was EQ and Irish tried to sign him, not sure how'd he'd go in the prem as he's quite small but he has serious talent.

I'd bet any money he'd be fine in the AP. The guys physicality against the Canes was brilliant

No doubt he'd soon bulk up, he's built for the fast hard pitches and only a kid end of the day. Really like the look of him, bit like Tom Rees but not injured.

Hooper, Gill and Cane all look top talents coming through - personally think GIll will be the best of the lot, think he's the youngest too.
Did anyone sign Beaudan Barrit in this game?

He'll come on as McCaw's understudy very well I think - will learn so much from him. Wish that England had someone like those three coming through - we dont really seem to have anyone there or at no8.

Problem is that youngsters only seem to get a good run of games in poor teams or during internationals.

I've seen many touted as McCaw's understudy but never quite made it (Latimer, Whitelock, Braid) not sure if cane will be any different but it'll be an interesting few years.
Gills hardest ever opponent - Richie McCaw
Hoopers hardest ever opponent - Heinrich Brussow
Just heard that on Brumbies/Reds game

Gibson wont become a top 7 I dont think.
Reckon he will make a good 6. He is sort of a 6.5.

Still fancy Todd as McCaws understudy. Going very well for Crusaders again this year and gets day to day interaction with McCaw at Crusaders. Something every young 7 in the world would die to have!
Whitelock is more a BS/No 8. Similar to Read when he first came through from what I've seen

Didn't mean Gibson as a 7 more showing the young BR players Eng have.
Todd would be better away from Crusaders I think and starting making his own name and be the top dog around town instead of McCaw's understudy.

Re: Homepage
Wouldn't rule Marler out of starting just yet.
Unlikely that marler will be on bench though as he doesn't play both sides. PDJ probably the best bet although I am not a fan. Need a proper TH on the bench though (Ireland at twickers being a great example of why)

PDJ seems to get quite a mixed opinion on here, its why I got rid of him a while back, not sure if the move to Saints has helped or hindered him really.

Stevens not a big loss in current form. Harden is a decent scrummager and in theory we shouldn't need him in the tests.
Tbh I've only known Steve not rate PDJ, that's not a bad comeback really. We all have players we dislike from other teams.

For me PDJ will do a solid job and no more. Can get the upper hand but dont often see him destroy an opponent. Doesnt have a great presence in the loose like Marler or Corbs though.
Stevens scrummaging has been an issue recently but he is always handy in the loose.
