Welcome to Season 8 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 23 players.  Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1993.

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. Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will receive two additional bids to be used exclusively on academy age players. These players must be bid for on the National League Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by the RFU 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 the RFU 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.
    Player Draft
    Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will participate in a player draft beginning the week of June 22nd. Both sides will be allowed to draft two players each. The draft picks will go as follows; 1. Worcester 2. Wasps 3. Wasps 4. Worcester.

    Round Bidding
    There will be two rounds of bidding. The first window will run the week starting June 29th and the second the week starting July 3rd. All sides will be allowed to sign one player each during the window. These bids are not protected if you do not have the funds in place to bid during the window you will lose the bid.    

    Open Bidding
    From July 13th the foreign market will be open to all bids similar to previous seasons. Due to the world cup the window will remain open till the end of September.

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 20:00 hours on Sunday. Managers will pm 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
Bonuses will be awarded on a scaled basis i.e. 2m for 5 games, 1.6m for 4 games and so on
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

Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million

Anglo-Welsh Cup

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.

I'm starting to think Geech's has an agenda against English rugby judging by some of his articles.

Hartley & Tuilagi have zero form. Cipriani is kicking in the 60%'s and not playing that well...is Itoje even playing 6?

He doesn't mention Tuilagi, was good to see him back today.

Cipriani in very good form for Sale. Itoje plays lock or no6 for Sarries.

Agenda against English rugby? Confused there, he's one of the most respected coaches and knowledgeable people in rugby.

Apparently he is but each article I see from him lately seems odd. For a start he wanted to keep SL in charge after the WC???

I assumed he'd mentioned Tuilagi but that must have come from you. Tuilagi looked extremely rusty today as expected, he should be kept away from the England set-up until the summer imo and is certainly not a 12 judging by some of his distribution today.

Cipriani isn't playing as well as last season and kicking in the 60%'s, thats not good enough. Pretty sure Itoje has played mostly at lock this season, he's too slow for 6.

I thought manu went well for so long out. Great hit on lawes and a few carries.was a bit rusty which is to be expected.

Gibson Haywood Croft and the Leicester 8 had good games.

Cips in cracking form whenever I watch. Farrell expected to play 12 and with ford bang out of form can see jones picking all 3.

Apparently Kruis injured today so locks could be bare. Squad named Wednesday.

Kruis been best English player this year. Can see why geech wants itoje at 6 he is physical and would complement kvesic and Billy.
Long term he is a lock.

Lawes was mixed bag today did some good stuff and some silly stuff like the last pen to lose
The game.

Gibson must have a shout of a squad place

I thought he did pretty well considering he's been out for 15 months. Is great to have him back.

Not convinced Itoje is too slow for a no6, when he got moved there in second half against Wasps he completely outplayed Haskell, and you'd say he's faster than Wood and Robshaw - the latter for me deserves to start there for us in 6Nations, he gets so much stick but he has impressed of late.

Saints really unlucky today, was a great game and a lot of rugby played considering the conditions.

Yeah Cips been very good this season, offers a lot more control. I'm not sure about Farrell at no12 for us though. Whole of the Bath backline needs to start performing, so strange how bad they have been this season - it looks like the WC experience has shot Ford of his confidence.

Going to be really close between Kvesvic, Clifford and Fraser.

Also how on earth did Tom Wood get up and carry on playing after his knee bent like it did - looked awful.

Ford a young lad so always going to have a wobble. He is clas
And will be back.
Too much expectation on him and playing behind a pack that has struggled does not help. Bath need Attwood back but also need some front row and general depth in pack.

Webber and Wilson have no form so hits them

Cips has not being playing well, I'm not sure what you've been watching. He was in good form last season but its perhaps not clicking as much this season, he was really poor against us a few weeks back. Kicking in the 60%'s isn't going to help him as he's a confidence player, sure he'll come back.

He won the game against Wasps last weekend with great goal kicking and a well taken drop goal and he's getting a lot of plaudits saying how well he has been playing too.

Nowell also looks to have taken a knock, hope he recovers as sure he would have started. Amazing how many players are injured at the moment who could be in and around the England squad.

Always happens close to the 6N, maybe it's the pressure of performing and the clamor to get in the squad.

Have to disagree on Cips, I think he's been off the pace compared to last season when he was playing very well. Kicking in the 60%'s is never great for a flyhalf.

See that there is quite a bit of talk in the papers saying that Du Plessis the Sarries prop could get a call up to the England squad, not sure about that as he's 34 and South African...we must have some decent THs around somewhere, but form of Thomas and Wilson at Bath is a worry, hoping Cole has a good 6Nations.

Anyone see the Quins highlights, Robshaw certainly putting his hand up for starting blindside spot, he was immense yesterday and Clifford has to be involved in the setup - strange how the likes of Pollard and Kriel walk straight into the Springbok match day 23, while it seems to take us 2-3 seasons post a JWC to consider some of ours.

He's needed that performance, he's always looked like he has the big match temperament though. Such different styles for England depending on who plays out of him and Farrell, the latter in far better form but would love to see us go and attack.

There is a big interview in the times about ford and JJ's lack of form
. talking of how ford has started to sit deeper and deeper and has stopped challenging the line.

Most papers advocating Daly at 13 with JJ being given chance to find his form.

All the broadsheets have ford or Cips at 10 and Farrell 12 Daly 13

You can see all their confidence is shot, Ford's is from how England handled him, JJ has looked as though he's played with injury and hasn't been given time to properly get back into it yet.

Not sure Farrell works as an international 12, could do if you had a Tuilagi at 13 but you need that gainline breaker, only other way it could work is if you brought in Roko and had Nowell on the wing as some power options out wide.

Daly deserves his chance, the left boot gives us so many options and to have someone who kicks from 55-60 metres will mean teams don't take risks at the breakdown for miles out.

Where do people think I most need to spend?

I'm still hoping that a couple of players come back into form in real life, but aware that I can improve in most areas

Looking at the last round of AP games, definitely scrum half, possibly outside backs too although they are all talented

Just watched some of the prem highlights:
Hill unlucky his try wasn't allowed.
Horwill lucky to be on the pitch.
Feel Gill should have stayed yellow but Du Plessis should have been carded too for his involvement in the tackle.
Cracking restart for Irish for Lewington's try, Falcons seem a bit weak under the high ball watching this game.
Andy Goode looks massively over weight!
Wasps vs Worcester was mental!

Quite a few concerns for England be interesting to see what Jones goes for tomorrow.

For me with Wales, nice to see Roberts settling in well, North at 13 is something I've been interested by. A few bolters like the Dragons 7 and JD2's brother may get a call up a promising young prop about too but keeping that to myself! Would like Cuthbert not to be involved but can't see Gats dropping him till he has.to end of season.

Gill's red was the most blatant red I've seen in ages!

He's going to get an addition ban too...

I feel that with him being upgraded to a red then du plessis should have been carded as it was his part of the tackle that drove the Quins.player into the ground. Similar to the double effort of umaga and mealamu in 2005.

Without Du Plessis being involved it.would have been a yellow only, Du Plessis altered the trajectory of the tackled player.

As a Welshman we tend to look into these after the Warburton incident in 2011!

Also, hard luck this weekend cj, definately a snatch and grab from me!!

Backline need an injection of quality somewhere CJ.

Perhaps look at losing one of your better players for a few good Ints that would start for you.

I saw it and thought it was spot on in terms of punishment. I was watching the prem highlights and pretty much agreed with Flatman in that you would see thousands of swinging arms like that during a round of the AP.

That is true however rarely do they connect like that mainly because most miss their target, feel he will get a couple of weeks depending on how Kruis is I guess.
