Game History Page
Welcome to Season 6 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy 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 its 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 match day 23'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 an academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1991.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
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 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on its 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.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Structured Window
No cash will be used and each team will get effectively free transfers by way of a draft, which will run 12th, 11th, 10th …… 1st, 12th, 11th,10th… 1st place side. This will run from 10th June 2013 until all teams have had their two picks.
Open Window
Open transfer window, teams have unlimited bids provided they have the financial resources to cover them. Teams may only bid for one player at a time.
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
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page.
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 match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Saturday. 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.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box. If you are not providing a descriptive prediction you will be restricted to predicting a 1 point win either way.
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 match day 23, and at least 4 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.
£2m 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.

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: Season 6 Homepage
Luke Morahan had an absolute dream. Wonder if he will sneak into the Oz squad, they are believed to be adding a winger.
Will Greenwood speaks so much sense. Deans has no valid rugby argument for not including Cooper. No argument that Cooper can't be picked as he's not a 'classic 10' and then play JOC or Beale.
Lions test side for me is becoming more and more apparent. Think a few people have been pencilled in for shirts.
1. Vunipola
2. ?
3. Jones
4. Gray
5. ?
6. ?
7.?
8. Heaslip
9. Phillips
10. Sexton
11. North
12. Roberts
13. ?
14.
15. Halfpenny

Re: Season 6 Homepage
when does Speight become eligible?
Bowe done well, could have nailed him down for last back three spot.
Warburton to surely play. BOD probs done enough too, esp with Tuilagi injured. Expect POC too. Corbs in with a shout. For me leaves just 1, 2 and 6 wide open.

Personally I think on merit Parling should be 5. Don't think Evans or AWJ have a shot at a start so between POC and Parling for me alongside Gray.

Bowe has played well. I would start him on the wing and have him as full back cover with Manu as the outside back on the bench.

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Cooper has been hit and miss today, but I think he has shown he can tear the Lions apart with the likes of Genia, JOC, AAC, etc around him.

Was it a bad injury to Tuilagi, only been able to catch second half.
From watching Cooper I really can't understand how he is not in the Wallabies team.

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Same for me but I'd start Youngs, providing he has no throwing calamities. POC or PArling is so tight but I'd edge towards POC for experience,but then if Youngs starts I'd like Parling there with him.
bench of 16. Best 17. Vunipola 18. Cole 19. POC 20. Croft 21. Youngs 22. Farrell 23 Manu

Cole doing ok at lh! Cooper must be in the oz squad.
From a welsh point of view I felt cuthbert didn't do great. Faletau quiet. North and jd2 very good. Warburton and Lydiate grew into the game. Give Warburton another 70-80 minutes and he'll be back on form.

North has been sublime. Davies or BOD a fascinating selection dilemma.
Cuthbert struggled but Morahan had the 40 mins of his life so he didn't have an easy time.

Think Gatland could well start Lydiate in the tests, seems to be a real favourite of his - wouldnt be overly surprised if he went for an all Welsh backrow.
What happened to Bowe?

Re: Season 6 Homepage
That's a real shame for Bowe, was looking very good and he would have started the tests.
Gatland to use this as a chance to call up a third fly half? Looked like Sexton kept having work on his hamstring today, though Farrell played well today too.

You would have to say it would be biggar despite gatland saying he was not ready for this level.
Flood maybe. Either are substandard for lions team.
Zebo would be interesting.
The side named against waratahs next Saturday is the test side that starts the following week historically

Be a shame for Bowe, was looking great.
Give me Flood over Farrell any day of the week, not a comparison for me, especially with Halfpenny kicking so well. Hard to see what Farrell brings if he isn't kicking.

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Didnt think much of Farrell first half but came into it 2nd half and started to open up play a bit.
Sexton nailed to start at 10 so if they call up a 10 it will only be for the tour games. Probably better to call a utility player up like Hook, Madigan, Twelvetrees

Neither ignites a backline.
Shame for Bowe he was excellent.
Hibbard cast iron certainty for the test side.

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Farrell and youngs improved and did well after a poor first 30. Youngs ended up as one of the best players on the pitch but was appalling to start

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Possibly call up Laidlaw to cover 10?
I can see Visser being drafted in though.

Re: Season 6 Homepage
Flood can involve the backs more than Farrell, prob about 10x better. If Farrell isn't kicking I fail to see much in his game at Int level.
Sexton has past nailed on, he should be wrapped up and not allowed to leave his room.

Does anyone have the following who I am looking to put into my academy:
Tom Smallbone,
Anthony Watson,
Richard Palframann,
Luke Peters,
Ludi Hopkinson
I'm also looking to release: Alex Gray, Kieran Low and Jerome Kaino unless I get a good cash offer today.

People love to slate his throwing, yet noone mentions when he gets 100%...

I'd have said Hibbard pre-tour but he was poor against the Ba's. I've not seen today's game but all hookers have been poor tbh

Re: Season 6 Homepage
For me youngs has shown how he can melt down so can't be picked for test.
100% against the reds means very little in the context of them having no jumpers and minnows at that level. Although you can only play what is in front of you.he will be bench. Poc vs parling for 5 spot will be interesting

POC is twice the player Parling ever will be, really hope he starts.
All hookers have had issues, if Youngs wasn't in with chance he wouldn't have toured

Youngs wont be a starting hooker, think Gatland likes to have an impact bench and there arent many better impact players than Youngs.
