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.

Robshaw is having a nightmare so far. Missing tackles and getting turned over.
I think Kruis was preferred at the start of the season Luke. I don't know if this was because Hargreaves was injured or not.

In that scrum they struggled. Saracens pushed before the ball was in.
Scrum has been even. Stevens has won the hit then Marler has come back strong.

Magnificent try!! Superb from Joubert, Brown, Farrell and a good take from Fraser.
Saracens have this play in them and are great to watch when it clicks.

Mako getting screwed now. Fatigue or lack of technique?
Either way proves my point he needs to play more AP games.

Big Quins scrum, Mako smashed JJ there.
Really like Mako, can see him nailing England spot with Corbs struggling.

Could be a mixture of the two, relatively inexperienced and doesn't look like he could last a whole 80 with his energy around the park.

He just seems an all round better player than Marler who's been a little disappointing since he broke through.
Scummaging seems stronger and he's great in the loose.

I think Marler just needs to get back to form with Quins let him play back into form.
Could also be where he's had to concentrate on scrummaging he's lost a bit of speed and power around the park.

Re: Homepage
His scrummaging is weird as he has been second best in most scrums against Jj and then got the upper hand in some and looks a world beater.agree with Steve he needs more games
Guest- Guest
Re: Homepage
Mako good in the loose but he gets hammered in the scrum on to regular a basis. Three times at least today I've seen him really battered by JJ. He needs AP experience.
Marler sorts out his scrum engagement and he will be a top class prop. Stevens wins most hits today yet Marler still has him going backwards at most scrums.

Really unsure on Marler, I don't think he's a great scrummager and he doesn't offer much of a carrying threat, strong defence though.

Marler betters most of his opponents at AP level. Can't do much more than that.

I am a big marler fan. Think he would have fared better in Cardiff with Hartley next to him. Hartley is a good scrummager

I actually think Mako is better scrummager than Marler, I don't think Marler is much cop there tbh

Can't see him as a better scrumager than Marler. I haven't seen Mako really dominate someone at any level in anything more than the one off scrum.
No doubt Mako has huge potential, but let him play AP rugby as he needs experience.
Yeah matt Youngs at 2 certainly doesn't help the English scrum. He is 1st 4lbs lighter than Hartley Hibbard and Best.

Brown has had a fine game. Showing why he should get a chance there for England.
Oh dear Ashton. He has been okay today in attack but defensively its just dire.

I don't remember him always being this bad. Perhaps when he isn't firing on all cylinders on the front foot then he it becomes more obvious.
Tom Brady at Sale is a fine defender. He is one of my favourite players and think at another club he'd be pushing for Saxons at the very least.

To be fair to Robshaw he has been poor today and has looked fatigued, but he has improved in the last quarter in his carrying at least.

Yea he's been really quiet today.
Always fancied Robson to get in England set up but he just seems to have dropped off. We're suffering a bit at 5 really, if Parling gets injured we'd be stuck.
