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

Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £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.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
I'd say good rather than superb but I don't think that backline is too bad defensiblely. Bit light and might lose yards but won't fall off tackles
The bigger issue is that they need to win enough ball, and they need a scrum half that can get them the ball, Simpson is quick and a threat but makes Care's kicking look like FDP, Phillips' pass look like Aaron Smith and Laidlaw's game management look like Augustin Pichot

Cips has definitely improved this season in defence. Not that it was hard to, but he definitely has and at least he tries to tackle

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Agree CJ they are quality operators. Daly a talent and Masi been one of top centres in Europe for a while..
Bell a club player but A good one. Cips ifs a proper player now
And would give them a real threat.
Wasps
Still
Need forwards

Not sure what the the craic is with Cipriani. I heard from a reliable source that he was offered to us, but we decided not to pursue it. Seems like Sale don't want him from what I hear, which is strange as he's played well this season.

Cips has obviously been offered around to all the clubs Pete. Strange although it may be he has a desire to move back down South.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Wasps defence is actually very good, since we signed the old Bath defence coach - have no issues there at all for us - our problem is about creativity and scoring tries, which I never thought I'd say given the players we have! We lose games by 3-5 points and havent really got smashed by anyone this season, just waste so many chances.

Tuilagi and Yarde into the extended training squad - would be a big call to get either of those in the match day 23. So hope we beat them (sorry Prop!).

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Has Yarde been playing a bit more recently? Post 6Nations could see Yarde and Tuilagi coming into the starting lineup. We could have a very good squad come 2015.
Just saw Stephenson's try against Gloucester this weekend, can see why a few people have asked about him now!

Gloucester fell apart, Saints backs got loads of space in the 2nd half.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Loads of the Saints coaches think he's their big hope coming through the backline, alongside Will Hooley - not sure if the latter is in the Eng u20 set up.
Elliot has been v good for them this year, seems to be getting better each game, but don't think he'll go beyond club player with all the wings England have.

It's too hard to tell at that age, many players just never really kick on. Stephenson looked ok, see how he goes against the better teams.

You do get some players who do just have that special quality - have a few prospects at no12 now Mills, Hill, Deveto and Stephenson - hope one of them kicks on!

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
I think Mills is too injury prone, Deveto looks a bit more settled at 10/15, Stephenson not enough AP time to judge.
Hill looks the best bet currently but I'm not sure he'll get 10+ caps.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
I seem to be getting a few big defeats at the moment, where am I going wrong with my selection/tactics?
Also, I think I need to improve at: hooker, 2nd row, 6 and wing options what are people's thoughts?

Prop,
You've got great options at backrow, halfback, centre.
I think you need one top player in the engine room and a hooker.

He's contracted to Wasps until Summer 2015, so doubt he will leave. Sarries were apparently sniffing around, but have denied interest in signing him and I couldn't see Wasps selling him to them after Billy Vunipola last year.

Bristol really spending the bucks, they looked strong at the weekend. Still hope one if the others beat them but money talks.
