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.

Glad to see that 36 despite more chances than any int player is finally dropped.

Exciting backline but not sure we are cut out to use it. I think Farrell is WC but like Morne steyn his game is not playing wide and open.

Bold by Lancaster who could have been conservative.deserves to be commended.hit
And miss defensive back 3. Ashton all over place in heino final and then defensive rock in prem final and yarde suspect in defence and kicking.

Would Watson and May change this ??? Not massively so no issues with the selection.

Excited by the centres and think they may offer us what we need to threaten teams. As good as Burrell has been I still think him and 36 are not int players.
They have done well in a great system.

Inside centre has been biggest problem for England for over 10 years. Eastmond is toxic and not
Liked by bath team mates and had defensive issues but in first test him and burns tackled like demons and went low. Cips made big cover tackles vs crusaders so England defence system great.

Can't wait to see Fekitoa. He is raw as hell defensively but super exciting and unique ball in hand. Reminds me of Kurindrani 2 years ago but more polished. He has a staggering outside fade and is super strong in contact.

Dropping launch is stupid.
Only just noticed.

He leads are aggression at the breakdown and for me is the most important England player.

Him and lawes were worlds best pair and work as a unit.
Parling has done well but has no physicality in comparison

Will be close:

Think they have a 10
Who will dominate. Pollard will be World Cup squad vs billy burns who is good but way behind development wise.

Itoje vs snickerling is top

Think SA backs that much better.

Earle and Tompkins stand out English backs


Taylor the Sh is tasty also

Shocker of a miss from earles. He is injured get him off.


If pollard is so poor why is he in the highest scoring player in the WC of all time, playing super 15, likely to be named irb u20 player if tournament , going to be called up to the boks and captain of SA??

He's a good kicker but makes errors, not sure of the hype tbh. He's not poor he's just limited.

It's a nail biter this one!

Making yourself look very silly

Why?

There was 3 mins on the clock, SA had numbers over and chance to attack. Pollard throws a shocker behind the man and we win the scrum. SA don't touch the ball after that. How is that not a Pollard error?[/quote]

Not imo. Very limited player, he's had an armchair ride every game. He's required to open up when behind and really struggled.

Won by default really up against 2 wingers (wingers hardly ever win these things)

Itoje was best player by a mile, he was unreal.

Some real talent coming through.

Was intriguing to see us outmuscle the Boks quite a bit today despite being smaller in the pack. Scrum was on top throughout, line out a shambles first half. Moriarty was unlucky not to make the side

Pollard was great all tournament, stole the show in both games against NZ.

Have some serious talent coming through with England, not sure how long it will take Danny HO to get game time at Saints with Corbs and Waller there, but he seemed really good.

Itoje is a talent though, he could go on to be a really special player and was getting some game time at no6 for Sarries in some games last year.

Pollard is fine when the pack is in top and he can kick around the park and pick gaps. He has little attacking play though, his passing when trying to force the game was poor. He made loads of unforced errors too.

He's a talent but an extremely limited one, we seem today how he struggles when his pack aren't completely on top.

From the man who bought you comments like Ben youngs is best scrum half in the world Etc etc.


You are in the minority with your view mate. Pollard seen as next superstar of rugby and has been for years
