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.

That is clearly Dai Young having his influence and exposing a young talent to the realms of top class rugby. Shrewd move to be honest.

Yeah I think he's chosen as their uncapped player, must be a big boost for the lad. With Poff leaving and us not signing a replacement no7 it looks like he'll be getting a lot of game time there next season.
Apparently we will be making a few more signings before the start of the season, we haven't really got a big name just yet, would like to see a really physical forward brought in who can make us that bit more aggressive at the breakdown - we are too 'nice' a team at the moment.

Robshaw, Flood & Ashton rumoured to be rested this summer. Burns to travel as only 10 with 36 backup.
Lancaster looking to blood Slater, Thomas & Kvesic. Wood to captain.

15 mate. Homer is poor, and thats from an Irish fan. Kirchner quite average too. Your backrow is quality, probably need more depth at lock though. Hooper isnt great. Garvey be a better partner for Kennedy althought I prefer Garvey at 6. Maybe a top loosehead as well, although Poux is still ok and Stevens not bad.

Re: Homepage
With Gustard going you'd imagine that there will be some Sarries bias in the teams - England have 4 games dont they? BaaBaas at Twickenham, then a team made up of all South American countries, followed by two tests.
Would imagine the likes of Simpson, Burns, Ford, Tomkins, Twelvetrees, Strettle, Care, Daly, Wade, May will all get some game time - Lancaster seems to like having two big centres in his team so would expect 36 and Tomkins - the offloading game those two would bring would create a lot of chances for a quick back three.
Hopefully Foden back in the mix, need an attacking threat from 15 again - Brown should have that shirt nailed down though.

Launchbury also expected to be left at home, he's looked exhausted recently as has played so many games this year. Not sure how much depth England have in second row really.

Heard that Myall was going to get a call up for the tour - pretty sure he's played Saxons level so wouldnt surprise me.
Like the look of Garvey - has he played mostly at no6 this year? Have Bath signed him or is he staying at Irish?

He has played 6 pretty much all season. Not sure where Bath will play him. Attwood and Garvey is beefy but not good at lineout time, so reckon he might play at 6 with Louw at 7.

I can't see Ford getting involved, he's been poor and goal kicking is dreadful.
I've not been impressed with Foden all season either, Brown or Goode will be the choices I imagine.
Shame to lose Launchbury as he's nailed on but he has looked goosed since the 6N.

Barritt is needed for defence I think as there is a lot of unexperienced players.

I'd give Brown a shot, Goode is a class act who adds a bit of brains to the backline but Brown deserves to play in his best position. I wouldn't have Foden near tbh
13 is a problem I think. JJ is massivley off form & Tomkins is poor. Have the option of Barritt moved across I guess.

Ford's played well since March, never had issues with form, just kicking and that's been sorted out now - was awful at the start of the season, he was doing that weird little run up.
Agree with you Steve about Goode at international level, top club fullback.
Foden is the best fullback for me when fully on form, but Brown has the shirt nailed down for the tour. Foden is playing well at the moment, but makes silly mistakes from time to time, though the kick for Elliot's try at the weekend was world class.

Foden has undoubtedly improved of late. Has been getting back to something like his best. I still think he is England's best full back, but Brown deserves a shot at the jersey.

Re: Homepage
Tomkins will be England's 13, fits into Lancasters style - is best offloader out of any other 13 in the AP and strong in the tackle.
I'd be interested to see where England want to feature Daly, he's been called up a few times to train with them now, so must be in the mix.

Has to be FB for Daley as he's too small for the centres.
Foden massively off his 2010/11 form, even Saints fans say he's not looking good.
Id be happy with Brown

Daly over 15stone, 6ft 1 - bigger than quite a few players who play there. Size isn't the issue for me there at all, experience on the other hand could well be.
Foden last 3 games has been very good, creates a lot of Saints tries.
Will be a big tour for England as will show Lancaster's intent for 2015, whether we go and try more exciting/try scoring players, or stick to the solid/dependable type who wont lose you a game but wont win one either (e.g. Brown on the wing, Barritt, Goode at fb).

Yeah he shows glimpses of top form, but then makes silly mistakes that he wouldn't have done before his injury - the miss of the ball for Tom Williams try at the weekend, but then making up for it with the try for Elliot.

We've done the Daley weight thing, he's not over 15st.
Foden was quality in 2010/11, bordering world class. He's not that player anymore, bit like Ashton isn't. TIme to move on I reckon. He's just well off his game.

Robshaw, Care, Flood, Barritt and Ashton rested. Allen and Haskell not considered due to injury.

Am amazed Wigglesworth gets called ahead of Simpson, who has been on top form this season and no Fraser or Daly either.
Though at least no Waldroum this time!

Wigglesworth has been great this season, he's a complete class above Simpson imo.
I really like the squad, few tweaks but he's taking the best we have.

Wigglesworth deserves his spot has been excellent for Sarries.
Fraser must be injured, he missed the heineken semi so must still be injured.
Waldrom would of been a pointless selection. Vunipola and Morgan better options.
Most exciting wingers we have seen in a long time in Wade, Yarde and May. Strettle on good form also.

Re: Homepage
Good to see Attwood back, I guess he'll be leading the line with either Slater or Launchbury???
I know Slater has done a bit at Tigers but not much so doubt he'll be doing it for England....possibly Wood???
Team then...
1. Corbisiero
2. Webber
3. Wilson
4. Slater
5. Launchbury
6. Wood
7. Kvesic
8. Morgan
9. Wigglesworth
10. Burns
11. May
12. Twelvetrees
13. JJ
14. Wade
15. Brown

Tomkins may get the nod at 13 but I'd like to see JJ partner 12T.
Probably agree with that otherwise. Hope Yarde gets some good game time.
