New Fantasy Rugby League

Right a few rule additions

Squad Size

Squads will be of 40 senior players and 20 Academy players who will come through your own clubs real life academy.

Transfers

Your squad will contain players who you can buy from 'The Marketplace'  

The marketplace is the hub centre for all transfer activity within this league including released players from sides.

When the Market place opens you will be allowed the following bids

4 before opening fixtures.
2 after Round 4
2 after Season.

Players joining from clubs outside the game will 'decide' on whether or not the move suits them as a player rather than just accepting a transfer fee. This allows a more realistic approach to the game and prevents one team snapping up all the superstars.

Your bids for players may choose to include a list of pros as to why the player would choose to join your club over others.

Budgets

London Irish - £80m
Stade Francais - £50m
Exeter - £60m
Montpielier - £60m
Newcastle Falcons - £90m
Scarlets- £80m
Connacht - £90m
Gloucester £40m

The ruleing on match day squad is you must have

8 players from your original squad
4 Players from your home nation
3 U23 players

games at neutral stadiums so the playing field is level a bit more.

Transfers will be 

4 before the opening weekend
2 after Round 4.

We'd look to carry it on into a second season to keep the signings interesting and preventing it becoming a superstar league.

Players who have been with your club for 2 years become original squad members so please post the date you signed them next to them on your team sheet.

We'll draw up a cup competition to run alongside with the top 4 at round 4 going into the premier cup and the bottom 4 going into the championship cup. Northampton , Leinster , Toulon and Clermount will join the premier cup and Munster , London Wasps , Bath Rugby and Ulster.

I'll need help with league tables as i'm useless at coding so if you could help that would be great.

Could take a team, and help out when it gets quieter in the winter mate!

Spot on bud! Just need 6 more of us now.

If I can then I will, really hard to know what working life will be like till I start and am hesitant either way because of how unreliable I've been on the other game for a while !

Yeah I'm keen

Bathite pop over to the other games homepage matey.  

Back at work full time now, I'm realising how badly I need a game like this to keep me from throwing my laptop out of the window

I could consider another league, now work gets quieter...

im in..... i'm (CF) by the way, left a while ago, now back.

Nah I'm alright thanks mate

Alright for what Flux?

There was someone spamming the page/the 606 forum and posted here.

is this league going to happen?

If peeps are in we can look to start this off on Sunday night?

Don't think we have enough people mate

Bam
Driver
Fluxy
CJ?
Bathite
CF

Not much of a league with 6!

I'd be in if numbers aren't there

Play it with 6 and just add teams next season if people want to join?

it would be good to get something going..

I can give it a go, my level of commitment will fluctuate depending on how late I'm getting out of work though

As there's fewer teams, does anyone fancy setting this up with a draft rather than picking teams?

Random order, use a snake style draft system to pick a 23 then very limited foreigns ?

We'll do a random number.

Pick the teams for the game , give them numbers and give the managers numbers and just match them up.

Need to have a look over budgets etc.

Just throwing it out there as an alternative way to draft. But you alternate between NH and SH players?

yeah surely you do that Flux..

Lets get this ball rolling then!

The way teams will be Selected will be through a draft.

I need some one to number each manager and then i will post a random list of numbers from 1-6 and that will be the selection order.

Anyone round to help with this?

i will be a bit later, this is purely just a flying visit.

What time Freemo?

What's up guys?

I'm around between work hours, will keep an eye out

Lets get this going lads, am bored out of my mind at work at the moment.

Looks like we have 7 at the moment?

Bam, Driver, freemo, CJ, CJB, Fluxy and Bathite

TEAM SELECTION ORDER

Freemo
Bam
Bathite
Driver
CJ
CJB
Fluxy

when do we choose?

Now?

I don't see why not, although might be helpful to know what the rules on players etc are before choosing!

Pick a team from the following

Exeter Chiefs
Gloucester
Newcastle Falcons
London Irish
Worcester Warriors
Stade Francais
Biarittz
Montpellier
Connacht
Edinburgh
Scarlets
Cardiff Blues

I would suggest swapping Biarrittz and Montpellier.

I'm happy to swap them for London Welsh and Castres?

Do you have enough players for this now?

We have 7 atm Pete , Happy to make it 8?

Am interested, and this may sound a bit arsey, which it's not meant to, but only really interested if I can be London Irish.

I'm sure nobody else will pick them

Yeah you can Pete , you'v just got the ball rolling!

Next please...

So Ozzy takes first pick, Freemo is up ..

Have Biarritz and Montpellier been removed then

I'll keep them in and add Castres and Welsh.

il take STADE FRANCAIS please.

Is this the conditions for the match day squad?

The ruleing on match day squad is you must have

8 players from your original squad
4 Players from your home nation
3 U23 players

Yes BamBam.

Mainly because I don't know enough about the French sides, I'll take Gloucester

Bathite your time is now!

What's the squad size maximum, and are we having academies etc?

For now all current senior players and senior academy , I'll think of a number later on.

Worth dropping bathite a line?
