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 think I might be at 41 in my squad, so if someone would like to do a 2 for 1 or even 3 for 2 deal with me, before releasing someone this evening, let me know!

Relatively pleased with that signing. We still have some work to do to replace Thomas, Miller and Gaskell though although the new Tongan 8 seems to be relatively useful.

Denton has been decent but a bit headless. Looks for contact all the time and dies with the ball. Let down by his support though and was one of their better players.

Think we can all say Johnson is a clown. Drops gray first and now Denton.

Swinson hasn't made much impact and Hamilton has been poor.

Denton has been their best player by some distance

Probably going to be making quite a few changes to the squad at the end of the season, so most likely going to be losing some of the following - guys with a * would require something big coming back.

HK Motu Matu'u (New Zealand)
PR Sona Taumalolo (Tonga)
OS Sam Cane (New Zealand) *
OS/BS/N8 Julien Bonnaire (France)
OS/BS/N8 Ed Quirk (Australia)
BS/OS Rhys Ruddock (Ireland)

SH Mike Phillips (Wales) *
FH Rhys Priestland (Wales) *
FH Ian Madigan (Ireland) *
CE/WG Tomassi Benvenutti (Italy)

Be interesting to see Wilson get a run of games. Reckon cole could struggle to get back in if he does.

Instantly a better bench with ford. There is a plan B!!

Looking forward to the game. Not looking forward to the travel chaos getting there

Cole is world class. Wilson offers decent scrum but we'll miss Cole's breakdown work badly.

I think Cole may have been struggling with this for a while. Apparently the effects are weakness in the upper body which get's worse. It would explain his off form this season??

It's a real nasty injury, we might not see him again this year.

Wilson's scrummaging has been above what Cole has produced this season, but you are right, we will miss his breakdown work, something that helps make up for our lack of a natural openside.

It's ok. We have a "natural openside". The fact that he also does everything a 6 does doesn't detract from that

If you take the multi coloured joker shades off CJ, you will see that Robshaw is not a natural openside, or fetcher as the Saffa's call them!  Wink

Personally as much a dan cole fan as I am I would not say he is Wc by a bit.

Scrum is his problem and no amount
Of loose will make up for it.

He is a decent scrummager but he is not a Jones,figallo,Mas,Murray, one of
The Georgian villi lads type destroyer.

His loose work is exceptional and agree without a proper 7 he helps although penalised quite a bit.

Reckon this injury must be the reason for him being not great this season. Props get better as they get older and cole approaching best 5 years. Injury explains why he has struggled.

It's a conundrum of whether you pick a th for scrum or for all round game.

A th on top can ruin a game. Ayerza and Figallo in the RC made Argentina games close due to destroying NZ
And Aus scrums

Murray? Murray?!

Also Jones currently does not belong on that list

He has as has Murray but I was illustrating scrum first props. Jones is a problem for wales. Now there is no hit he struggles.

In NZ herald or one of the one sided kiwi rags they had olo brown and a few other ex legends saying fauminia or tamufeina will be wc th.

Saying that with very little ball NZ beat everyone so why not pick a front row that scrummages and lose a bit of mobility to win more ball.

Brown says Coles is a top scrummager but struggles with key darts.
Always seen Coles as average scrummage and not bad darts myself but what do I know

Tameifuina will be world class . Could be at Hooker or TH or even LH but in a few years he will be one of the best THs in the world in the loose and the tight!

Th pays the money CJ. Agree if he gets fit will be a monster. Very young.

I see blues are going mental over tufingisi the u 20s loosehead I have. He has lost weight and is first choice this year.

Great ball in hand but scrummaged his age in ITM. Apparently he has ripped up trees pre season.

Difficult thing signing academy prop as they mature later I have let some potential greats go paul hill and guillamon

Scotty Wilson will be England 3 in next few years , hate to admit but needs to move to nail the shirt. Do him wonders going to Saints or Tigers. Serious scrummager and cannonball in loose.

If i was to pick props for NZ tour i would go for

Vunipola , Marler , Wilson , Brookes and Mullen and Wilson for Saders game.

Wilson looks a frightening prospect. Anyone I know who plays coaches at that level all say he is real deal. Worth a fortune on here whoever has him.

Same with stooke and Hill although they are further along as have played Saxons and been great in AP
