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

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.

We have some great options at lock, probably our strongest area.
Walder has been the difference this year, he's transformed our backs

Your locks don't help your scrum at all.
They set up really poorly and leave a huge burden on
Front
Row.
Your entire back 5
Really don't help the front row.

It's a strong area for us.
Green has been superb and we have Thompson(Samoa Int), Furno(Italian Int) and Barrow (U20 WC winner). All are big blokes that scrum well.
The issues is Brookes is injury prone and rarely fully fit and our LH options are average to poor.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
I mean about having decent scrummaging locks. Have to work as a unit.
Whenever I see Newcastle they struggle in the scrums.
Falcons have poor hookers so could do with a decent one.
You guys are actually decent to watch for
Maybe the first time ever.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
Sounds like you've not seen us much.
We hammered Gloucester scrum recently. We have a good trio of hookers, more than happy with them. The issue is the props, especially LH. I've seen every Falcons game this year so I might have a little more of idea.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
In Lawson you have the worst scrummaging hooker in the league and as you will see from my other post i said you need a LH.
Guest- Guest
Re: Season 7 Homepage V
You also stated our locks, hooker and back 5 didn't contribute, that's incorrect.
Lawson isn't a big scrummager but he gets by, we've dominated scrums with him.
As Ive said numerous times it's the props. Brookes gets injured every few games and is rarely fully fit. Tomas is a decent option but up and down, Wilson isn't ready.
LH, Vickers generally holds his own and Fry is one of the worst LH's in the AP.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
My point is that you can't do
Much about the personnel you have this year so what you have has to work smarter.
Scrum wise your back 5 really need to sharpen up . As someone who coaches scrum sessions it was really apparent and has been in other games I have seen.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
When your LH folds as soon as any pressure comes there's little that can be done from the back 5. Agree the scrum is about the unit not just the front 3 but our props have really struggled so a little odd to suggest it's the back 5's fault when obviously isn't.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
The role of the back 5 in scrummaging is often underestimated by people who watch the game.
Someone like Steve who plays lock
Will
Tell you how many components there are that need to be right.
Glos are poor at it as well and I think a lot is down to
Us constantly changing our side and lack of continuity

Not said its their fault. What I said was they really don't helo
You. When you have a struggling scrum they need to help oit
More.

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
Watch the way your locks go down at different times and how your flankers are too high. All little percentages that can help.
If your lh is cack he will
Get hammered but back 5 can help massively

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
Greens shoulders are all other at the scrum at times , furno weakens our scrum a bit as he's a pure athlete and just scrims and rucks like a mong with no technique.
Tomas technically is a out best scrum time , Brookes has loads of power so gets away with it a bit

Think in my lifetime I can only remember as a 10 Gareth Rees being sent off for that mass brawl in the wc between Canada and Sa when south africa won the wc for the first time.
There are a lot of red cards in french rugby full stop.

Foden will be in the 6N squad. Good chance of making the 23 and if Brown has a poor couple of matches to start, I'm sure he'll slot back in, even if he is a less rounded full back

I see Cockerill stated that Chiefs are possibly trying to sign Geoff Parling at the end of the season. Would be decent for Chiefs, but are starting to become the Somerset side that sign up Tigers players when they're almost finished with their careers!

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
Just
Watched Montpelier vs Toulon.
Jake white instant effect they were
Much better than Toulon.
Toulon were obliterated in the scrums and their Lineout was a mess.
To quote commentator " Toulon have been pasted in the scrums and bent double"
They need to invest in front row. Even Hayman looking past
It.
Taofofuuna has been one of toulons best this year. However his discipline is awful
Was nailed on starter for france in A i and then got sent off
And his yellow today was awful. We will work on him on the training ground.
Toulon will win nothing this year with that front row and giteau missing.
Burden the hooker is a loss. Has
He left or just injured ?

Personally would not start Him
At this age internationally but as a 3rd choice and off the bench then he offers more than most. Huge scrummager and decent darts. His
Biggest issue is lack of experience

Re: Season 7 Homepage V
Our front row depth full stop is the envy of the world. You can list many in each position.
Tight head we have wilson Brookes Thomas Cole
Loosehead Marler corbs mako
Hooker Hartley webber LCD heywood gray etc etc
Centre wise even Georgians have more depth

When did Buchanan last play CJ ? Also lindsay is 3/4 th choice at wasps. He is like Youngs in that he can't throw in. however his throwing in is 10 x worse
Than youngs. Chris
Will tell you that wasps think he is uncoachable. He will be national
League next year. Great ball carrier though

Buchanan is similar in that he keeps getting niggly injuries. Luckily, we also have Ward, not a bad choice of 3
