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
Champions - £4 million
Anglo-Welsh Cup

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
You seem to be strong on Friday nights at home and are on a decent run so wouldnt surpise me if you won. Quins stronger on paper but its a tough one to call. Same with us Sunday v Wasps, if Vunipola and Poff are out I fancy us to win, if they are fit it makes it a different contest.
Welsh could well be bottom come Sunday evening.

Quins missing Evans and Care though is huge. We aren't looking badly placed I don't think. Our bench looks stronger and Braid and Seymour will give their back row a contest and a half.

Re: Homepage
Yeh you definitely have the stronger bench. That is pretty much the Quins team that beat Leicester though, minus Care. Will be a close one I reckon.
Glos will beat Worcester and Welsh will lose.
I'm going to Fulham v Stoke Saturday, then coming back home to watch England v France, then going to Irish v Wasps Sunday. Chances of a treble?!

You could win that. We may struggle against Worcester on Friday. We played Sunday afternoon so for sky to force us to play friday is ridiculous.
Perils of being entertaining to watch we are featuring on tv a lot lately.
We are able to rotate at prop and centre and nowhere else currently due to small squad

Looks like Ferris is out for season:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21535697
I think we can now rule him out of Lions contention.

Re: Homepage
Averaged about 15 games a season in his career which is not great. It says its minor things but for me next big injury he gets will finish him. Been out since November this time. Could do with him back for the lions so its a big shame if he is missing

Re: Homepage
Not watching it but sounds like a cracker in Dunedin between the Highlanders and the Chiefs. Currently 28-27 to the Chiefs with 20 minutes to go. Three tries each. And as I type the Chiefs have a 4th to go 33-27 up. Lead has changed hands a couple of times. Two tries for TNW, so good news for CJB on here.

Re: Homepage
do you think they have relegation clauses in?
I get the feeling a few Irish players are waiting to see if we avoid relegation before deciding their future.
Garvey and Joseph have not signed for anyone yet or re-signed with us. Only Corbs and i think Gibson have actually signed elsewhere.
Pete I think it will 100% be Welsh. Can't see them getting a point out of their next 4 games (all away). Infact I don't think Welsh will win any more games except maybe their last one against Worcester.

This week is the big one for Welsh. Chiefs form is poor, and although a tough place to go, they are going there at the right time. If they lose and us and Sale win they are bottom and I can't see them coming back. I think this is actually a big weekend in the relegation battle.
Where is Gibson going nick? PM me if you can't say here.
Brumbies 7 up early doors at the Rebels.

Mowen having a great start to the season as well. He is a option as Oz 8. Brumbies look a side but not much depth.

No Goode! Delighted.
Is the England game a 5pm ko tomorrow? Should be a great game, typical that the French get their selection pretty much spot on the week they play England!

He did alright, but not as good as I remember him playing last year. Mowen excellent though, great chance of being Oz 8.
