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.

Great win for the Bulls at Eden Park. Blues will tear a few teams up this year with their backline, but won't have the consistency to win it.
Stormers v Chiefs sounds like a crwcker yesterday, gutted I missed it. Anyone got any ideas on anywhere I can download the game from?

You've done me there, I've got nothing.
I didn't realise you were so touchy about your out of form players, this could be interesting

Depends on your Internet & how many seeds. Usually fly off Tasman as everybody shares.
I've had no issues with Vuse, what's your net speed?

Interesting ratings, Best who you said has been poor scored more than Heaslip.
Top rating would be 7 imo and that would be Murray, nobody deserves an 8. Heaslip would be 5 and that's pretty generous

He's back. Imperious at the breakdown where he tormented Scotland with his physicality and craft. 9
Best words I've read for a while. Such a good player at his best.

Can't see it myself, never been a fan of him.The Italian team is very, very poor - this could turn into an absolute massacre.
Care's speed of pass is a lot better than Youngs, though think I still prefer Youngs all round game.

Well it would be if Youngs didnt take 3 steps to pass the ball you might be right there.
Think this game is showing that we might need some more pace in our backline. Really should have scored there, great way to butcher an overlap!

We are being very poor with possession and decisions at the moment - we'll win by 20+ points because of the power, but would have liked to have seen Brown or Foden at fb and someone like Wade or May on the left wing in this game.
Ashton always plays a lot better with Flood in the team.
Youngs throwing isnt going well at all -- is that 3 lost so far?

Last 4 gtames Foden has been very good - Goode is a good player, but always like a fb to have an attacking threat. Very good positionally and solid under the high ball with a good boot, but not as good a tackler as Brown/Foden and he doesnt really attack as hasnt got the pace.
Always good when the crowd cheer Flood getting the kick into touch

Take it you've been to watch Saints recently then, you do make me laugh with some comments and arguing for arguing's sake.
Got to try and put some width into this game, they are marshalling Tuilagi very well at the moment in defence - think that is our problem at the moment we don't have any backs apart from him who can break a gainline, or have pace to go round someone.
Not many of the England team playing particularly well at the moment!

Re: Homepage
Our execution is so bad - that's another overlap butchered. The Italians defence is good but we should have scored 3 easy tries this half. Need the forwards to push up through the middle and go through the phases.
Flood doesn't miss kicks these days, but he isnt getting the backs moving properly. Needs to stand flat and bring the forwards through and then go out wide.
Should really have gone for Wade or May.

Just happens that you and Matt do it A LOT

Youngs wasn't in great form coming into the 6 nations still got the nod over Care though at the start and has played himself bang into form. Foden playing well at the moment for Saints again and would offer something different on attack for England.

He'll generally start ahead of Care as he's got a better tactical game

Re: Homepage
Picks on form - wings - Wade, Varndell, May all on very good form, but not in the squad. Youngs at start of 6Nations was cr ap, but now playing well as a few months ago Care was head and shoulders better.
He picks Goode and Brown because they are very good kickers and that suits his style and way he wants England to play the game. Saw that in SA when he wanted Foden as a wing. I'd prefer our backthree to have pace and guys who can score tries, at the moment with Ashton's form and Brown and Goode we don't have that - if Ashton was on form, I'd love to see a backthree of him Foden and May.
Foden has played well since he came back in January apart from one game, which was on Sky - been getting some good reviews, but obviously not on form, like May and Wade lol.
