Welcome to Season 7 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 (SJE) 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 1992. 

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 National League 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.

    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.

    The window will open from the 9th of June but only to those sides that finish 8th and below at first. They will have a week to make one signing each before the window is open to all.     

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 National League 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 European Rugby Champions Cup, European Rugby 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. Failure to meet these deadlines is punishable by the addition of three match points to the oppositions final score, unless both sides fail to do so. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 15:00 hours on Sunday. 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. 
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:-

For domestic competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.

For European competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 6 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 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.
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 upto a maximum of £5m per fine.

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 (SJE) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation (foreign transfer value) in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

My team for next week.

I'v only made three changes to the side from this week.

15.Mike Brown
14.Chris Ashton
13.Manu Tuilagi
12.Kyle Eastmond
11.Marland Yarde
10.Freddie Burns
09.Danny Care

1.Joe Marler
2.Rob Webber
3.Dave Wilson
4.Joe Launchbury
5.Geoff Parling
6.Tom Wood
7.Chris Robshaw
8.Ben Morgan

16.Dylan Hartley 17.Matt Mullen 18.Kieron Brookes/Kyle Sinclair 19.Courtney Lawes 20.James Haskell 21.Lee Dickson 22.Owen Farrell 23.Luther Burrell

I don't think Henry Thomas is the best option as a back up 3, Brookes or Sinclair need some game time here.

I can't believe the performance from Burns after seeing him this season. Ford will be gutted, he could find himself 4th choice.

Cips didn't put a foot wrong today to be fair. It's just his persona and attitude I don't like. If he gets stuck in and keeps his gob shut he'll done fine.

To be fair Pooly when was the last bad press article you saw about Cipriani? Doubt you could find one person criticise him this season - he wouldnt be in the squad if there were issues with his persona and attitude, lot of the problems around him are how the press portrayed him.

Burns was great, he's a big match player.

Not too much Chris but it's been pretty much constant with him for 5 years or so. I keep waiting for him to mess up again as he's such a prat.

Maybe he's finally turned the corner, he certainly has talent.

Why on earth would you move Tuilagi to the wing?  Utter nonsense.  AB's brick it whenever he gets his hands on the ball in midfield.  You want him in a position where he gets the ball as often as possible, not out wide waiting for the ball to get there.

I hope we roll out Burrell and Tuilagi in the midfield at some point , Nonu was terrible today.

SCW always shouts out with silly picks , he wanted Sam Tomkins to be England 15 come the RWC a few years back with Foden at 13.


50-23 Pete.

I would not change the back 3 in anyway. We have gas to burn and have been defensively strong.

Great to have so many options to choose from. We have genuine depth in many positions

Their selections are baffling.  Their best 9/10 combo is still Parra and Trinh-Duc.  They don't give themselves a chance with the sides they put out.

Completely agree. Machenaud was very poor today. Went missing at nearly every 2nd ruck and passing was poor.

I can see why they do not pick parra as he slows a game down. To be fair I am not a fan.

That said machenaud is not the right choice. Palisse the Montpelier 9 is by far the best 9 in France for me. FTD is quality and should be 10

I had Hartley on the bench as i also had Lawes there and togeather from the bench it would be a bit more familiar than Hartley & Parling.

It's Hartleys fitness I'm worried about, he's hardly played.

I'd 100% drop May, I worry every time he gets the ball. He's a top AP player but could have been found out imo.

Yarde is our best winger by far, he has to start.

I didn't see what Yarde brought to the game today myself.

May has the x factor.

I expect I'm on my own with this view but May and Nowell going forward for me. Wade perhaps comes into contention when back fit and firing.

With you Steve. Look how May almost made that try today. He has the X factor. I like yarde also. Lot of people on here thought May would get found out defensively but he proved today and in 6 nations is defensively good. He is growing in to the shirt and will frighten teams.

Yarde didnt do a lot today. But i think nowell is bang average. Not that quick, not that powerful, doesnt score a lot. I thought may was poor in 6N but he did well today bar one mistake on his own try line which came to nothing thankfully. May just needs to back himself more.

Nowell isn't an Int class winger for me, I don't see what he offers.

Yarde is a genuine scoring threat, I think he's fantastic. May just crabs, his decision making is really worrying.

Yarde just needs to work on his positioning, thought his kick chase was very good. Don't think he has the X Factor, would love to see Wade come back and get his shot.

Brown very good defensively so I think we might be able to get away with May and Wade in the backthree if we keep playing the style we are going for.

Stupid to suggest that Tuilagi should be moved out wide, neither Twelvetress nor Burrell are that good to warrant moving our most dangerous back out of position.

Eastmond was excellent today.

I'd argue that he could be a much better creative 12 than Twelvetrees going forward.

Thought Brown was average today. Dagg showed him up.

Aaran Smith also excellent. Cruden wasn't up to much. Bordering on stupid decision to tap that penalty despite the resulting score.

Dagg had a few cracking breaks and kicked but was a bit shaky at the back as was brown.
Maybe due to excellent kicking from both teams. Both 9s were not great. Smith had a couple of lovely moments but england seem to have him worked out. Robshaw and launchburys work at the rucks really unsettles smith and the quality of his ball.

Craig burden is a very good hooker. SA produce so many

I was surprised Cruden played Steve, he's only recently came back and looks off the pace.

Cruden was not great and coughed up quite a bit of ball. Many kiwis want Barrett in. It's quite the debate over there if you read there rugby sites.

I am no cruden fan but I will say his restarts are probably the best I have ever seen. Every time he puts the opposition under pressure. So
Consistent at it and also with great variety

Thought Smith was good enough. Few nice breaks down the blindside. Youngs kicking was so inconsistent though. Needs to pick it up if involved next week.

Donnacha Ryan available for straight cash if anyones after a lock

Wowser great signing for Glaws. Humps been crucial in Ulsters revival over the last few years but more focused on the off the pitch stuff. Some coaches coming in under him Matt?

It's an interesting one. Whether he's a success I think will depend on the set up and exactly what his role is. In terms of recruitment he has been fantastic for Ulster, but I'm not sure how much day to day involvment with the team he's had.
