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).
Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiting the match and a 1 league point deduction.
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

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.

Mac started the season great then had a massive dip. Kicking was strong. Think they like him down there.

i always thought he was a poor kicker, but towards the end of the season his goal kicking was good, especially in the final against Toulon.

I would just say everyone gets one but in reverse order, so 12th gets 1st pick etc. maybe give the bottom 4 teams from last year 2 picks? obviously no-one has to pick if they dont want to release a current squad member

I'm just looking through squads, as I think there has been a closing of some of the gaps between a few teams since the end of the season. I currently have a list of about 25 players so there will be the opportunity for some teams to have more than one pick.

Due to my laptop not working I'd say if someone wants to p.m me when it's my pick that'll be great!! Probably looking at lineout lock, 10 and centre right?

Re: Homepage
Just been through teams to see who is stronger than whom and the way I see it is there are 9 teams with not much to choose between them, then a little gap to the three other teams. What I am going to do, is randomise the three teams into an order for them to get one pick each, then randomise the 9 for them to get one pick each, then back to the 3 for a second pick each.
You can either take your pick or you can pass, it is totally your call.

I think mac is a bit better not much. I think he Is a glittering talent who ruined his career for money so who can blame him.
He was good for Toulouse during wc when best players away. Then got dropped and came back well.
Would say there is not much between him d'arcy Scott etc all much of a muchness in terms of quality. D'arcy on his way down but was great little player.

Re: Homepage
I wouldnt have D'Arcy/Scott anywhere near Mac at the moment. He was in superb form start of the season dipped for a little while year but then picked up again when we got to to the crunch stage of the season. Think he would walk into any of the home nations sides bar maybe Wales

out of you lads that play local rugby, what is an average weight you would bench press on both a long bar and dumbbells? appreciate that it would probably be more for forwards than backs!

Anything around/above 120kg is Strong I reckon. I've hovered around 100kg when into lifting but 70/80kg these days.
I think you generally get stronger with age anyway, think Sheridan was around 200+
What are you interested for Nick?

I go to the gym a fair bit and was just interested really.
theres a couple of monsters that go that do around 120kg was wondering how that compared to local standard rugby players.
max lahiff pushes the most at irish, think its around the 200 mark.

Lawes needs a big season next year, really think he's key to England's pack going forward, if he can add a bit more carrying to his game then we could have a world class lock.
Want to see some more of Garvey too now, he could have a great partnership with Skivington next year - and hopefully next year Launchbury will be moved to second row at Wasps.

When I was playing rugby properly I think I was doing 130/140kg, but now I'd be lucky to pick up the bar on its own!
Have been doing pre-season training again for the first time without being injured in years and trying to keep up with all the 20 year olds is killing me off day by day. I think we play National League 3 now, each season we have pretty much our whole first team poached as we wont pay anyone to play for us and then manage to go up a league!

Prop - would probably look at maybe another player who can cover a few positions in the backthree, or a lock. The Russian lock at Sale has looked pretty good and could be a good one.

Yeah the only problem is who to let go if I bring in another lock......I'm tempted by someone who's good who can cover maybe 10/12

You dont mean Henson...
Botica looks like a prospect - if he can play anything like his dad could then he's going to be good!
Want to see how well Sella's son does in the Sarries academy, meant to be a really good player already.

Anything over 100kg impractical for a lock as it doesn't really help there game is what I've been told.
Any rugby player who spends anytime on a one rep max deserves shooting. Gotta turn the weights into a cardio as often as possible.

Not saying this is what Driver does...
But remember being in det in Iraq and going to gym with US Marines. They used to pick up these 80kg dumbells (well two of them did) and continue to "bench press" them.
The bench press involved a spotter either side and the dumbell moving from the lock position to about 2 inches from that lock position nearer the chest for about 3 reps and loads a screaming.
