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.

Alex Waller - what a muppet. Why throw a punch when you are 5metres away from the try line and pushing for the win.
Saints are so hit and miss at the moment.

Agree pooly. Bruno retiring and signing smit. The only position they are weak is hooker and wings.
Deon Fourie turned down Toulon as he was told he will be hooker at stormers this year and have chance to get in Sa squad. I find this a little odd as they had previously rotated him and liebenberg who also was in bok squad. Can only think liebenberg is off and he is also injured currently.
Smith and wulf not good enough. Always said Toulon will win nowt. They have amazing squad but thin in some positions and as well as wilko does for them he will never be an attaching 10 and the game is moving that way where tries are key. Easier if you have magic
Outside you but apart from giteau Toulon lack a bit of magic.
Clermont will hit you with rougerie, fofana, nalanga, butin, Byrne ( outside lions bet has been exceptional and kept butin out ), malzieu parra. It's a different threat,
Montpelier 9 always so impressive. Montpelier missing figallo also.

Still doing well in scrum, Hayman getting tortured. Creevy is a fantastic scrummager for Montpellier but darts can be iffy.
Fourie would be odd signing as his set piece work is poor, great in loose though

His lineout is decent but he scrums his weight. He is. 15 and a half stone so needs bulk with him.
Would work at Toulon as he has beasts next to him. They offered him serious cash. Story everywhere on the net.

Poor in lineout and scrum for me, his career advisor needs a slap. Looked more settled at 7 in CC

I have always said michalak is a poor
Player in any game where he is under pressure. This is a shining example.
If you looked up flaky in the dictionary there should be a picture of him. On front foot great but in a tough game goes to pieces. He has lost France so many games over the years. Poitrenaud of the half backs.
Do like watching him though but glad he does not play for glos.

Stormers have one of the best lineout each year so lineout must be decent.
Size matters in scrum though

They have best lineout because Fourie got dropped for Liebenburg who's a great basics hook. Fourie can take no credit his arrows are dire

Agree with that re etzbeth vermaulen and bekker. great targets Fourie had to move to 7 due to injuries. Otherwise was on rotation. Stormers coach wants him to play hooker only this year
Apparently when mood took them Gloucester were excellent in attack. Great to see Trinder and may back they got 2 each and Sharples one

Great defence Exeter. They will not lie down. Many of the French sides and welsh would have put out a poor side with nowt to play for and taken a hiding.
Exeter may lose heavily but they give it their all.
Healy so good in loose. Wish he could scrum. Maybe impact lions sub? Think with Aussie scrum poor we may target set piece. Depends who refs will be

Great hands bod &sexton. I like sexton ball in hand and for Leinster. Not as good at international but maybe due to his supporting cast. Be great to see him in lions ten with good pack. He is 1000% starting ten for lions. Him and cole only nailed on starters for me. He is so good for Leinster.
Heaslip in mentally good form this year no debate over lions 8 pre tour but several contenders cou ld emerge. A good six nations could see him as skipper lions.Morgan, faletau and Denton competitors but Morgan aside the others having poor seasons. I think faletau having difficult season as people worked him out. Seems to lack a brain. Could end up a flanker. Big fan of his and still so young which people forget.
Exciting times for lions tour.

Re: Homepage
Faletau has been in great form, better than Heaslip who is just an average Int for me. I wouldn't have him as Ireland 8.
Ireland best backrow would be 6. Ferris 7. Henry 8. SOB
Sexton def nailed on at 10 with others going backwards, not so sure on Cole.

Most fans voted for heaslip as Irish captain. Even on planet rugby poll he won by a landslide.
When has SOB played 8 consistently? Why would people want someone who is unproven to play there ?? Any evidence apart from the odd random ?
I may frame this lol!
One season wonder !! I will not say anything and let others digest that one from you. Brilliant stuff

SOB played 8 pretty much all year when he won European player of year as Heaslip was injured.
Heaslip had a great year 2008/9 but has never got near those heights, not a fan.

O’Brien took the second-half fight-back to Northampton Saints at the Millennium Stadium as Leinster won their second European Cup in three seasons. He was named 2010/11 ERC Player of the Year and enhanced his reputation further with strong showings, particularly against Australia and Italy, at the Rugby World Cup.
O’Brien was deployed, for the most part, in the openside flanker role.

Whatever that is its wrong.
SOB played mostly at 8 and Jennings 7, Heaslip was out most of the season.
SOB is a better 8 than Heaslip for me.

Re: Homepage
Those two sentences are not related. Nice little miss off of the main point.....last season
"O’Brien was deployed, for the most part, in the openside flanker role last season – both for Leinster and Ireland. International commitments meant he played just six PRO12 games but he was an ever-present in the Leinster team that was triumphant for the second year in succession in the Heineken Cup Final. O’Brien was awarded the Man of the Match and scored an important first-half try in his side’s 42-14 victory."
I never said last season, Kearney won EP of the year in 2012.
"Injury curtailed O’Brien’s season and he did not return for Leinster until September 2010. It was during this comeback year that O’Brien, either wearing the Number 6 or 8 jerseys, would make his mark with the Blues. He scored four tries in nine Heineken Cup outings and was immense in wins over Leicester Tigers and Toulouse in the knock-out stages."
The year SOB won EP of the year, where he played probably his best rugby at 8.

Re: Homepage
In very basic terms. We all have a squad and we develop the squad through a mix of domestic transfers between eachother and foreign transfers during the transfer windows. Then we put out our teams (With 5 English starting) and the other managers predict on our games. We have fatigue, momentum, injuries etc all play a role in predicting results.
