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.

Still can't believe Ben Kay dropped the ball when the try line was so close! Sure Healy mentions it every single time he is on tv or radio!

He is a monster. Could well make a 6 in the Alberts mould. Be interested to see if he could convert. Mainly backs who come across

Ireland always have one amazing performance per season, and looks like this could be it. If they could produce that level consistently they would be a real force in world rugby.

Probably the best match I've seen in a long time. Think that seals N.Z as the top team to be able to come back from that.

If only Sexton had dropped into the pocket at the end of the first half.

Thought Ben Smith looked good at 13.

Davies joins Wasps, good signing.

A few people on the main board are saying that Sexton messed up his rhythm by trying to take the full minute for the penalty?

Been a while since I've been on the edge of my seat right till the end.

Didn't realise that Elliot Daly was asked to be '24th' man in the England team for the NZ game, wonder if they are thinking of him ahead of Trinder now? With Tomkins and Tuilagi both looking like they will miss the 6Nations it'd be great to get someone like Daly in the setup.

I'm unsure of him at 13, like to see him nail that position down for Wasps first. He's a talent though, just needs to add a bit of beef.

What a game.
You Just knew Ireland would bottle it.
Murray sob heaslip and Kearney were great.

Beuden Barrett changed the game. For me he is a great option at 10 or 15 if carter or Dagg injured.

Aaron smith falls to pieces when pressurised. Very impressed with Ireland at breakdown. Physicality superb. They will be kicking themselves

TEAM SHEET DEADLINES:

Home teams to be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams to be named by midnight on Wednesday. Tactics to be handed in by midnight Thursday.

Punishment for not doing so will be the addition of 3 points to your oppositions score when final results are calculated. 

If a player is called up changes have to be made by 9am Friday so the thread can be updated. Past that usual punishment of reduced squad and fines will apply.

You can watch all the AP games on the official website now, saw the Sarries game and he was the sole reason they won. He was absolutely immense and they shouldnt have got anywhere close to Exeter.

Best player in the AP this season by some distance.

Would have him, Burrell and Ford as the standouts so far. Bath looked so good against Wasps at the weekend, our only good player was Daly - but Ford just completely dominated us - if only he had a higher kicking %

He's been pretty good but then has some shockers.

Baths best player this season has been Matt Garvey. Most if not all Bath fans will back that up. He has been outstanding. Has to be in England recognition soon. So gutted he left Irish.

Think Ford is a special talent, can absolutely destroy teams when he has a good game. Can't think of the game where he got a try from 70metres, but he was incredible that day. Same against Wasps.

Big problem I've noticed with him though is that if he misses his first couple of kicks it knocks his confidence and can make mistakes. Be interested to know what his kicking % is, as from what I've seen it is pretty low compared to guys like Flood, Farrell and Burns - needs to sort that out.

I'm not picking but I just haven't seen it with him, he looks ok but nothing past that. I've not seen more than 5 games though so maybe he's been good then.

His kicking is really poor, not many 10's with a worse % in the AP I reckon.

I have to agree with Pooly on this one. Ford looks decent enough, but doesn't look anything special to me. If we were picking based on Premiership form, then I would have him behind Cipriani at present. With the pack dominance that Bath have had in the majority of their games, I would have expected more from Ford.

Cipriani has been quietly impressive. Steve will know more, but to me looks like he has improved his game management and defence. His goal kicking seems to of been solid and we all know he is a good passer and can create stuff.

Ford was good v Irish this season but he got an armchair ride. That was the try Chris, he ran through about 3 awful attempts at tackles.

You mean the try where he was held up and the ball was never grounded but it was awarded anyway.

Yeh that one. the game where the ref may as well of been wearing a Bath shirt in the first half.

Anyone know how long Wade is out for?

Yarde and JOC should be fit for Saturday, im hoping Wade isnt as Wasps backline lacks spark without him and Vardnell. Have to watch out for Daly though.

Cips has probably played better games but unsure if he's been consistant. He completley outplayed Ford when they met.
