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.

Love that back line Pete.

Agree on Nowell, he's just not quite there yet. Id love to see Burrell/Tuilagi together, could be devastating as a partnership.

Heaslip was
Fantastic
And has been prominent in every game.
Ireland's main carrying threat. I know since I signed him you don't like him pooly but every paper and pundit lauded him for his performance.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/sixnations/10655519/England-v-Ireland-Six-Nations-2014-how-the-players-rated.html is one example.


Wood likewise worked his socks off and makes other players look better because of his work. A real players player

Wood was outstanding yesterday, he does so much off the ball and stops the opposition playing. Again the whole pack played very well, took a bit of a hammering at scrum time until all the subs came on, Ireland seemed to lose momentum there.

Brown gets better every time he plays for England, but had Launchbury as motm yesterday myself, the number of times he stole the ball and the number of rucks he hits is just incredible.

Care has nailed that England no9 shirt now.

Attwood and Thomas really impressed off the bench.

Nice to see we are looking to play a bit more expansively too - was a great game to watch.

A 12/13 combination of Burrell and Tuilagi would be good to see, but I don;t think you'd get the best out of them with Farrell at no10 as although he is starting to become a bit more creative it isn't the natural part of his game, while if you had Ford there it could be a very strong combination.

Twelvetrees is so annoying as he has all the skillsets to be a topclass international 12 but his decision making just seems to be a few seconds off, or he takes the wrong decisions and over complicates things.

That telegraph scoring is a joke.

POM a 9???

I've not rated Heaslip highly since 2009 when he was excellent. He throws in one good performance every 10 or so games but flatters to deceive the rest of the time. England had 2 better 8's on the park yesterday than Heaslip.

He was nowhere near one of the best players yesterday, only you would think so.

Suggest you check out this one:

Telegraph ratings are awful, only Brown & Care should get near an 8.

Was a pretty impressive team performance though, Brown, Launch and Care were the three best players on the pitch - Lawes stopped O'Connell performing and Wood stopped the menace of the Irish backrow.

It is hard to rate rugby performances properly as you miss so much and people look for different things that they rate.

Marler played well yesterday again - if you take out some of the scrums.

Marler is getting better but still not a great scrummager.

Heaslip is a long way from Ireland's main carrying threat, he's a poor option tbh.

Heaslip carried 13 times yesterday and made 16m, that's awful for a top 8.

So excited by launch and Lawes. Parling had lineout but nothing on Lawes when he's firing. Launch now top bracket 4.
We've really needed care to step up and he finally has. Still need to improve box kicks though.
Browns rise is crazy. He's become an all but perfect full back. Credit to him for improving as he has.

I'll try to explain

The real life draw see's the semi finals as

Winner of 1st seed/8th seed v Winner of 2nd seed/7th seed

and

Winner of 3rd seed/6th seed v Winner of 4th seed/5th seed

Which in the context of this game see's

Saints/Ulster v Sale/Wasps
Leinster/Leicester v Harlequins/Clermont

I may have made a mistake but this is my guess

Picamoles had one of those games he is prone too. When under pressure his basics go to pot and he then gets hot headed.

In the right team he can be devastating but he is just a monster ball carrier and not much else. Need the right backrow balance to get best out of him

It's the same with any 8, it's hard to get involved when your pack is on back foot.

It was an awful decision to bin him, he didn't do anything. Ref had a stinking game, gave France nothing.

Billy V out of 6N, Tom Johnson rumoured to come onto bench (joy)

It is hard to get involved but he got put out of touch about 4 times which is unforgivable. He is not a creative link like some 8s so when it's not happening he goes to pieces.

Put him with dusatoir and an other and he looks much better

Tom Johnson is a long way from an Int backrower, even less of an impact sub.

We need an 8 with Morgan unlikely to last, I'd go Dickinson or Ewers

Ewers looked very good in the Sarries game. Made some good yards and has a decent offload. Would be like for like virtually

He had an average Saxons game, I think he'd do well off the bench though

I
Like him but think he is not top class. Needs another string to his bow. Much prefer all rounders at 8 like read, parisse, Hari, dallaglio heaslip etc

At 8 you get such good quality ball opportunities that more vision is needed.

Just the way I like rugby played.
Other coaches like the out and out power 8 like spies and piccles. Just depends how you want to play

Ewers in not fit enough. Work rate is not there for top top level yet. Similar to Galan I have signed. Great for 50 minutes but needs to get fitter and up work rate

Ewers I would like off the bench. Prefer it to Kvesic or TJ.

I knew you'd get Heaslip in there!

Picamoles is a complete class above above Heaslip

Ewers is not ready for international rugby. Not even close.

Dickinson would be the better option of those two, he at least has some intelligence to his play.

Ewers is perfect bench option really, imagine trying to stop him when you're hanging out

I would have said Heaslip is as good as Ewers. Ewers is quite adept in the lineout as well, and a better carrier, he would suite what we need right - off the bench at least
