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 (Fluxy) 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 1994.
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 by sending a PM to the RFU (Fluxy) and it 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.
Round Bidding
Open Bidding
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

Fair play what a show by Japan. Cuthbert did nothing again, why we pick him is a mystery and Lloyd Williams is so slow at the breakdown!
Right now us and Italy are in a battle for a nice shiny wooden spoon!! I'm normally positive but l, even with some second string we should be piking on the points.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
The Ireland game is brutal - ref is letting NZ get away with murder so far. Ireland playing well, but losing Sexton, Henshaw and Stander ton injury is going to make it hard.
Couldn't believe the Wales scoreline.
England were ok today, looked good in patches but defence was poor at times. Daly went well and Roko so dangerous with ball in hand. Think we have a slight issue with no7 until Haskell is back - Harrison doesn't seem physical enough, whilst Hughes isn't imposing himself at all.

Heaslip was brilliant yesterday Mat, both him and SOB got over the gain line with nearly every carry. They were so unlucky to lose Henshaw and Sexton, they just lack a world class finisher in their back three.

His form in the last year been superb, was great in South Africa and on fire in both all blacks games. Would still have vunipola above him for lions but he is without doubt Ireland's best ever 8. SOB was fantastic and I thought furlong was really really good.
Vakatawa was super for the French yesterday also

There's plenty ahead of Heaslip for Lions, is this another Moriarty moment

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Who though Pooly?
Heaslip, after BV, is the form no8. He was world class yesterday, there is no one close to him for Scotland or Wales. There's not a backup England player that would be ahead of him and he'll only be challenged by Falatuea when he gets back to full fitness.
Seems a little bit of a wum comment on Mat there

Not a wum at all.
Faletau is well ahead of Heaslip. I agree Heaslip was impressive last 2 games but he rarely rolls these performances out, he's is getting on to be fair.

Was a bit of a joke nomination to be fair, even the Irish lads on the main board would say that.

He shouldnt of been nominated for that, nowhere near it. But he is a good player and was quality yesterday.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Heaslip has been quite average for the past couple of seasons - England's Billy Vunipola and Wales' Taulupe Faletau have both superseded him - but this time I saw him running with the ball and making more metres than normal, which is great.
Quote from Guscott on BBC. You been ghost writing for him Pooly?!

Jones is pretty brutal - Goode, Yarde and Roko all out of the match day squad. May and Brown back in, assuming Daly keeps his spot on the wing.
Shame Launchbury is out, but Kruis is back.

Last season I think people lost points or fined for doing that - only one I thought it wasn't was if it were a baabaas game or uncapped. Could. E wrong though.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Well, at the end of the season we will have a discussion over it. As the rules above state two points of conflict all teams have suffered from as of late: 1. re: Tier 1 internationals, and 2. selection of players that could potentially play internationally.
Stay with the status quo for now

You were correct mate. I did have you as 15 originally, but your LBP column didn't add up at the time I first updated.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Good to see Daly keep his spot, thought he played well last week. Can't drop JJ so Daly on wing is good option and less chance of getting big runners down his channel.
I wonder if EJ is lining Daly up at 15? I've always thought he could be the answer to replacing Brown, has everything you need really.

Yarde is dross. I like having proper footballers in back 3
Like dagg and smith etc.
Daly fits that Mould. Agree re 15 spot don't think brown works long term
