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
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m
Heineken Cup
Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million
Amlin Challenge Cup
Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million
Anglo-Welsh Cup
Losing Semi Finalisst - £1 million each

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.

Re: Homepage
is the general opinion that I'd get better ratings for Tuilagi by continuing to play him as a 13?
Mat - wouldn't be that gutted if Jones did retire, found it a very strange signing by Wasps as we've got quite a lot of cover at 10.
Looks like we've finally been bought as a club too, so if we can escape from what looked like certain administration 12months ago am sure Gloucester will be fine.
Shocked by Bradford Bulls though, would be sad to see them disappear!

If he is that good then they wouldnt play 10 man rugby. Blaydon are mid to lower table in Nat 1.
He might be great but the record suggests he isn't the finished product

Yeah they were pretty keen on signing him , suppose Gloucester would be more interested if they start to lose more of there backs during the international window as he's never going to play for England.

We try and sign any average centre or
Wing despite needing forwards.
To be fair I never heard
We tried signing him
So doubt it although we have shipped out efs etc

Re: Homepage
think England will play him as 12 from now, but no chance Leicester will as they;ve got Bowden and Allen.
england seemed to finally work out how to use him better in the final test, if he gets his offloading game a bit better he could be such a good way to bring our backthree into it.
really want to see Johnny May line up against Fiji - him Foden and Ashton would be a handy backthree.

really like SCW when he writes articles, did some really good ones before the WC, saying he would have picked Ford, May and a few others. RFU majorly ballsed up by not letting him do what he wanted post 2003, seemed like a massive personality clash.
Would like to see Lancaster starting to find the players that could be world beaters and taking a bit more of a chance with them - we've had a few too many players who are pretty average getting game time instead of playing players who are definitely going to be there in 2015.

As I understand Matt, If a player joins (for example) Gloucester from Quins at 18, My option is to put him into my senior academy from my protected academy, if I choose not to he goes into your Protected academy.
I don't know what happens with academy players outside the AP

SBW doesnt sign 2 year contracts lol
That's what's been doing the rounds, he's allowed a sabbatical like Carter etc except he's choosing RL. Crazy really but he's a real pro so imagine he'll come back although maybe not at same level.
6mth in Japan, season in RL and back for S15 2014

Read that Keiron Read was possibly going to take a sabbatical and go to Japan, few others to follow too.
Works out great if they come to Europe, but seems to be so much money in Japan right now.

Got to feel for Bathite on other game, he's got Donald as first choice. He's been trying to offload him since the game started.

It was down to him our szarseski i released and eventually donalds ability to play 12 and 10 swung it.
that and having a ton of hookers

Re: Homepage
Donald was pretty out of shape last season, guess it shows the benefit of a full pre-season, he came straight from the WC after a beer fishing trip didnt he? Think he will be quite good this season, if he's got rid of his Goode-esque physique, he's got a lot of muscle to shift.
Who do you think will be the best signing this season in the AP? Think Exeter have signed a really good Fijian wing, who was brilliant in the 7s and made his debut for the full 15 side a month or so ago - not sure if he has international clearance yet though.
Tigers have also signed a Fijian from the French 2nd Division, meant to be a beast - plays 13 or both wings.
Twelvetrees needs a big season at Gloucester, that move will hopefully be the making of him.

Also this tongan backrow for Gloucester from Nottingham is meant to be tasty.
Twelvetrees season will be defined by whether glos win any ball
