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

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.

There or Saracens or Gloucester. Likely he is leaving though.
Fair enough on him though. He is a luxury we can't afford at our current state I suspect. Could have been huge for us had be not been so awful this season.

He has to move, he's looked half the player he did when he burst on the scene. You wouldn't recognise the Gray from last 6N to this, so out of form.

Gray was excellent yesterday and has had moments for Sale. He was phenominal against Worcester for example.
Not sure he is out of form myself. Impressed me so far in 6N.

According to Midi Olympique.
Great signing if it is true by Falcons.

That's cracking news! That's probably one of the three world class players you were talking about the other week mate.
My bet Hook and maybe a centre are the others.

Re: Homepage
disappointed to lose Gray and Vernon Steve?
Seems Worc, Sale and Irish are all losing a lot of quality players for next season.
I think Worc losing Goode, Mullan and Kvesic is possibly the biggest blow.
Corbs is no loss to us as he never plays, JJ would be although Guy Armitage is coming along very nicely and Ansbro should be back. Garvey would be a big loss.

Re: Homepage
Vernon rarely seems to start so why keep him. He should start on merit but Gaskell seems the pick at 8 since Powell considered out of favour. Don't blame those with international aspriations leaving.
Braid, Seymour and Miller resigning is great news for us. Move Gaskell to lock, sign some monster props from Georgia and Argentina and I will be pleased. We have enough in our backs to cause problems but we never get any advantage in the scrum. Maybe in a years time Harrison, Taylor and Thomas will be world beaters but short term we need better props. Thoas decent but not along side two other kids.

Why is Powell out of favour? He was quality v Irish when you beat us.
Gaskell seems like an odd choice for 8. Athletic yes but not really known for his power or ball carrying.

Re: Homepage
No idea mate clash of ego's between he and Diamond I guess. Either that or don't change a winning formula. He was in fine form early season.
Gaskell is doing okay there. Decent carrier for his size and frame but won't go through brick walls. Good at breakdown and decent work rate. He has a chance to be an international quality 5 but that might have gone until he nails a position (hopefully lock).
Diamond said we were signing a lot of new players in the summer at a recent fan forum. No clues as to who or where but Gray and Vernon off leaves a big chunk of wages.

Moatesy is excellent Chris. Gutted to see him go, he could be a star. Quick pass and serious gas around the fringes. Once he gets experience and adds game management to his skill set he will be a top notch.

You expecting a bit of an exodus at Irish Pete?
I've been impressed with Charlie Hayter at Wasps, signed him from the Championship a few months ago and he looks like he could develop very well.

Tyson Keats has played something like 9 to 11 games unregistered. Hss to be at least 4 or 5 points deducted going off previous offences. If that's the case Irish and Worcester should be safe, and Sale will be a lot closer to safety than they were before this.

Big round of fixtures for the top 4. Two home wins opens up a decent sized gap whilst away wins make things very tight indeed.
This could be the week where Matt reaches the top 4 for the first time time this season (is that right?)

Andy Goode is back 3 according to lions laugh out loud
With a few exceptions, Lancaster's dilemma is not so much who to pick as who to leave out. Looking ahead to the Lions tour, the back three is the only area where England players will not be in contention for a Test place. In the case of Andy Goode, that is more because of his rivals in the full-back position – not only Leigh Halfpenny and Rob Kearney but Stuart Hogg
