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.

I'd say both Corbs and Marler have surpassed Sheridan now so hes not much of a loss but Armitage would make a big difference to our backrow. We haven't really got anyone else like him at the moment

The thing with Sheridan is that we have Marler and Corbs so we arent desperate at loosehead. Wood and Robshaw are both quality but better blindsides for me.

Lancasater said Robshaw turned over more ball than anyone else over the summer - he clearly rates him highly at 7.

Here are the England under 18's and 17's squads. Worth a look to see who might be your next big star.

Quite a few Exeter players that can get snapped up there - Leeds have a few in there too, but trouble with Leeds is that they seem to be struggling to turn their u17s/18s into top class players - can only think of 2-3 players who have come up through their ranks recently and gone on to bigger teams.

Luke Wilson (Brinkburn College) (Newcastle Falcons)
Really good player , rapid as anything. Another one in Falcons is Elliot Husband who plays for Brinkburn College (Hartlepool 6FC) and Billingham. First senior game was for Durham County first team on his 17th birthday.

Re: Homepage
NZ have a more than Wales do for me.
Strike runners for me either have electric pace or make big yards and breaks.
Wales - Faletau, Phillips, Roberts, JD, North, Cuthbert, Halfpenny (from strongest 15)
NZ - Messam, Read, Carter, Nonu, Smith, Gear, Jane, Dagg
so just 1 more for NZ.

Noticibly only one in the Welsh pack, and Faletau isn't a brilliant carrier quite yet.

Re: Homepage
Faletau hasn't improved as much as I thought he would, but that's on his club form and hardly any of the Welsh players play as well for their clubs as they do for Wales.
Wonder what home nations team will do the best this Autumn - all southern hem teams come pretty much from being together for 2 whole months, so do have a massive advantage - think England can beat SA and/or the Aussies, but NZ seem to have two teams that can beat most others!

I think Wales will snatch a win from someone
Jenkins
Rees
Jones
Davies
Wyn-Jones
Jones
Warbs
Faletau
Phillips
Priestland
North
Roberts
JD
Cuthbert
Halfpenny
Has a big win in it. Millenium will be rocking and I them to beat Oz. England always have a half a chance but I'm not overly confident. Similar with Ireland. Scotland will be more confident than in previous years.

Re: Homepage
Wales will miss Lydiate, he's such an important part in their defence, but they're a very good team. Don't think they've got enough on the bench in terms of forwards to come on - they'll beat the Aussies.
Ireland are very hit and miss - sometimes they look like they can beat anyone, but other times they look like teams can run away with the game. Odd team at the moment!

I do like Rimmer and Shoemark, but Shoemark from NZ so not likely to be bought unless we have unlimited foreigns in summer.
Dolman also very handy.

Re: Homepage
I am not biggest kayser fan. Think he looks better than he Due to the 2 monsters next to him and bonnaire being best lineout forward around.
He has defo improved since being at Leicester. Clermont have such a squad. They don't even miss Lapandry when he is injured. Have options all over. Byrne worth signing in foreigns was surprised pete released him
