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 (Fluxy) 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 (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
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 (Fluxy) 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.

Now I know Mako is good but covering two bench positions............................

Johnny May is the prodigal son of Glos remember........no one else can crab sideways across a pitch like him. Would be good to have him back playing for us although Sharples/Purdy/Halofania are doing ok so far! I just think he doesn't suit Jones' style of play or needs a rest!

Guys, Fluxy has agreed that I can count Denny Solomona as EQ from this weekend onwards based on this article

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/mar/01/sale-wing-denny-solomona-england-new-zealand

Key bit wrote:The 23-year-old Sale wing, who has scored eight tries in his first six league games since controversially crossing codes in December, will complete the necessary three-year residency period next week, meaning he could in theory be available to face either Scotland or Ireland. However, if he is not picked and World Rugby votes through measures to extend the residency rule to five years at its council meeting in May, Solomona might not be eligible for a further two years.

We're interpreting that as he is now EQ until/if World Rugby changes the guidelines, regardless of whether he is picked by England for the next 2 games

If anyone can find anything saying different ... don't tell Flux angel

Great physical last night, although I do believe Ireland at least attempted to play more than Wales.

Other thoughts during the game: I thought Sexton and Murray, despite how good they are, should have been taken off sooner. They looked off the pace after their knocks and putting Jackson and Marmion on would have forced the Welsh to target elsewhere.

Lastly thought that Earls was my man of the match. I like Webb, but I don't think he is quite as good as he gets rated by the pundits.

Racing and Stade to merge next season......bizarre.

Bets on Stade 92 or Racing Francais?

Can kind of understand the logic, but it also odd. 

There will be a raft of players available I imagine in the market!

It's a shame really, both clubs are big sides. I heard they have dispensation on the salary cap for a year so can keep quite a few players on the books. The potential side they can put out should be interesting.

1. EBA
2. Chat
3. Slimani
4. Nakarara
5. Mosert
6. Alberts
7. Le Roux
8. Parisse

9. Genia
10. Carter
11. Imhoff
12. Danty
13. Chavancy
14. Thomas
15. Dulin

Or you could imagine them cutting a lot of the non-French players (Steyn, Alberts etc) and having a mainly French XV.

Seems Stade are being pushed out a little....

"The move was made behind the backs of the players, and while it is portrayed as a merger, the reality portrays it as closer to a Racing takeover of their Parisian rivals. The presidency will rotate every two seasons, with Stade's Thomas Savare the first to serve. The coaching team, however, will be the present Racing team of Laurent Travers and Laurent Labit. It is up to them to select the best 45 players from the 90 players on the books of both clubs at the moment.

Remarkably, the Stade players and staff were not consulted on the decision, and the first they heard of it came via the club's public statement.

Amid their very understandable anger, the Stade players have gone on strike, and as a result, are refusing to train and play this weekend's game against Castres.

The players met yesterday evening, and per Pascal Pape, they voted 99.8% in favour of going on strike. The decision to meet in the first place has caused ructions in the French international camp, too, with their attending a meeting against the express wishes of Guy Noves."

Guys, just a little heads up in advance

I'm getting married 1st weekend of April, and am going to be on honeymoon for most of the month, so unlikely to be around

Will someone be able to take over and put in teams/tactics etc to cover?
