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 (SJE) 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.

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
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m

Heineken Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million

Amlin Challenge Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million

Anglo-Welsh Cup

Losing Semi Finalist - £1 million each
Runners Up - £2 million
Champions - £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.

I'm kind of happy to see Foden on the wing , positionally he's a lot better than Yarde and he's a pretty good power runner.

I'd be surprised if he's better positionally on the wing than Yarde is, given he very rarely plays there.

Whilst it is a bit of an uninspiring backline, I'm not sure that Lancaster had too many options. Twelvetrees and Tomkins were always going to stay in, you have to give them more than one game to see what they've got. After that, with Yarde and Wade injured, who else would you have in the back three? I would have had Eastmond on the bench instead of Goode though.

Wilson is pushing hard for selection as first choice. Lots of people want Wilson as he is a better scrummager. Cole not a destructive scrummager but very good and his work rate is top rate. We have two excellent tight heads and 3 good loose heads.

Personally corbs and cole would be my top props but Wilson is pressing hard. wish we had same problems with 12

12 is a real problem shirt for us. We have a few good players, but none have the all round game to be world class. If you could take Barritt's defence, Burrell's carrying ability and Twelvetrees footballing skills and put them into one player we'd be laughing!

I was hinting that being a international full back he would have a pretty good understanding of how an international wing should position himself.

Lewis is pretty average, Robson is still raw. Needs to nail Gloucester shirt first then get a good run, he's exciting but makes a lot of mistakes. Certainly one for the future though.

Wonder where Gilroy is? I know Earls is injured.

Why pick BOD when he is retireing? Surely they'd be better off with Marshall and Cave

Earls, Zebo & Gilroy all injured at the moment. 

No issues with BOD he is a class about Cave still who looks like being overtaken by the young guns and Payne anyways. 

D'Arcy is the dodgy selection. Better to give Marshall the chance to get experience while BOD is still around. But suppose Scimdt is going with whom he knows best till the players know his style. 

Dan Tuohy hard done by as well. Better player then both starting locks

Rob Simmons at 6 for Oz. What is McKenzie's obsession with locks at 6.

I'm very surprised he hasn't drafted Jake Schatz in. Thought he was a big favourite.

Dave Dennis Is a decent operator.
No fan of Simmons in any position. It says a lot about the Aussie lack of physicality full stop.
Without Moore they would be on all kinds of problems. Timani and Horwill would be my first choice line up.

Mcalman should maybe be 8. Mowen is a cracking 6. Shatz not bad either. Fardy looked appalling watching him live but is a decent lock.

15. Alex Lewington; 14.Tom Fowlie; 13. Guy Armitage; 12. Setaimata Sa*; 11. Andrew Fenby; 10. Shane Geraghty (Captain); 9. Darren Allinson; 1. Matt Parr; 2. Mike Mayhew; 3. Jamie Hagan; 4. Ben Toolis; 5. Kieran Low; 6. Declan Danaher; 7. Danny Kenny; 8. Blair Cowan

Replacements: 16. Richard Palframan; 17 Johnny Harris; 18. Leo Halavatau; 19.Bryn Evans*; 20. Ben Lonergan; 21. Fergus Mulchrone; 22. Myles Dorrian; 23. Ed Hoadley

Only Blair Cowan is the regular first team starter for us. Not a bad side though. Decent enough backline but not sure about the pack. Front row should be fine but not sure about the locks and backrow.

Pretty much a 2nd string from us but some potential 1st teamers that need match fitness.

There's not a great deal between our 1st and 2nd side which shows we have depth but also that we're a little average across the board.

Cowan for me is a much better flanker than number 8, but can see why he's starting there with Fisher injured and Hala'ufia's game time needing to be managed.

It will come down to whether or not our pack can be competitive enough, as the backline is decent and has tries in it, as long as they get enough decent quality ball.

There are some big units and a bit of dog in your pack though, with the likes of Mayhew, Hagan, Low and Danaher. 

Like Pooly mentioned the Falcons squad is quite good for depth, it is just the quality isn't as high. But it's a good chance for the likes of Barnes, Clegg and York game time.

Pete did you get my PM by any chance?

Irish can have the win, I'm just happy we beat you in the league, I can see Nov/Dec being tough months.

I know there are plenty of people (and teams) who have no interest in this competition, but I would like to see us win the next two games and hit the ground running when we go to Welford Road the week after. Winning is a habit and this is an opportunity to kick start our season really.

Wow what a poor French side for tomorrow.

I know pelisse is injured but Parra
Is so out of form.

Weird locks, backrow and forestier dreadful
At 1. One poor pack and the backs don't get much better.

Ab's by 25 in my view. That said France can surprise. Like Dulin at FB and that's it
