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.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
At moment pete I would say
Sio
James
Alexander
Kitschoff
James would be first choice but is struggling and has lost his place to Catt who is in on merit above him.
Catt is tipped to tour to NZ although I feel it maybe being part of
A dominant pack making him look better than he is
Sio
James
Alexander

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
Sio should be a cert for Australia. He is young but has progressed massively and is great around the park. Kitschoff not
Progressed but is still young.
Alexander better at TH for me.
If it was a game on here would play James particularly in the knockout games.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
Yeah, I've got James starting at the moment, especially as he's with his Bath club mate Wilson on the other side. I also have the Brumbies pair of Sio and Alexander, and the Stormers pair Kitshoff and Malherbe, you know how I like proven real life partnerships!

I rate Sio the highest at loosehead.
I'm certain i told Chris a while back to sign him when he was on the hunt for a good loosehead.
Wallabies are pretty good at one at the minute.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
Touche!
Mercey has been a decent EQ bench option for me down the years in this game!
He's so up and down it's untrue. First three months of this season he was excellent for Saints, and I thought he may finally make the step up to being an AP starter, but he's fallen well down the pecking order there now again.

Pay me 200 quid and I will take rob Simmons to the abattoir for you. A lump who plays like a scared woman yet has quite a few caps.

Simmons is a 30+ cap turkey so a little different. He's still only 25, in think he'll end up a 5.
Mercey has went backwards at a rate if knots, Saints scrum goes to pot as soon as he comes on.

Not looking for boobie for tat but Richie Gray fits in with that mould Matt.
Great running in open spaces but jesus does that lad not like the graft. He's never seen smashing a ruck, such a wasted talent.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
Tour ratings 2 diff papers
Matt Dawson
o Richie Gray (1 bench app) 7
Scotland had to wait until last 12 minutes of series to contribute and fitting it should be the giant Gray, who was excellent all tour.
Mick cleary
Richie Gray (357min, 0pts) The Scot managed to fly the saltire when coming on in third Test, a reward for invigorating tour displays.

If a 7 rating is the best you can find I think that sums it up lol
You can't say somebody had a good tour on 13 test minutes. The mid week games were mostly against poor sides, means little imo.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
I said a good tour and that's what he had. Lots of competition particularly at lock. That was my opinion end of.
Signing off now as it's not worth arguing a toss with you. It makes it tedious for others.
You obviously " view" the game differently to others and have a "unique " perspective on rugby.

Don't get personal again Matt, it's just a debate. We all view players differently and we all have a certain amount of bias.
I don't attack you personally, be good if you could hold back also.

Sorry matt but gray was really shown up at Sale as a luxury player. He is athletic, but would like him to be doing the basic graft first.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
I think it better than bare.
Barritt has looked good since coming back from injury, even more so in attack and Eastmond when in form can be tasty at centre. Then chuck in Burrell, 36, Manu and then someone like Trinder and things look alright.
I think we are in a better situation than other nations, not great, but better.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
You have to think though that defending against Nonu and smith is a different proposition.
Eastmond has been much improved but is still a work in progress in defence. Particularly when defending with ford who is game but still very small and will be targeted.

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
I don't think of it being that much of worry, those sort of players will always create gaps or holes, you can't be 100% all of the time. And in that respect It is about the whole team lining up defence, not just in one on one situations

Re: Season 6 Homepage IV
But if your 10/12 link is not strong enough everybody else has to compensate and can be an issue. I would prefer a more robust defender at 12 if we play ford or cips at ten.
