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.

Wade nowhere near. Solomana not enough games to be "best of season". Falcons players not rated by many but Goneva was quality. Even Watson schooled Wade, great signing.

I think everyone generally knows Goneva has been class. Watson is alright but I'd take Wade over him by a mile. Sinoti I know has been injured but doesn't seem to have hit the same heights as last season when he was unplayable at times.

It's not bad thing for you that Falcons players don't get as much recognition. irish got ripped apart by players getting recognised. corbisiero, garvey, lahiff, armitage, armitage, Watson, kennedy, joseph all taken by bigger clubs. struggled ever since.

Gopperth trying his best to drag Wasps back in to this. Ringrose has been great, getting way too much space from Daly. Shame Wasps not fully at the races.

Only players that turned up yesterday were Wade, Gopperth and Beale, the rest were shocking. Our back row didn't show up, Launchbury had his worst game in years and I'm not sure Young got his team selection right, needed AJ in the back row for some physicality, Simpson should have started purely for his kicking to get us out of trouble and Cips should have been subbed off after 20 mins.

Leinster looked blooming good though - between them and Sarries this year?

Didn't realise the Sarries game will be played in Dublin - that semi is stupidly hard to call, huge, huge pack battle. Should be a great game.

Watched the Leinster/Wasps game last night. Can't help but feel that if Le Roux scores it's a different game, but Leinster would still have won. 

Carbery, Conan, Henshaw, Van der Flier and Ringrose all looked brilliant. 

MoM for Carbery as well, (not because he is my player) but backing him as a Lions bolter...

We couldn't match them upfront at all, amazed Cipriani wasn't hooked off after 20 minutes, he's been so out of sorts over the last 3-4 months. Gopperth needs to be playing at no10. Our pack just can't deal with games when they get physical like that.

Leinster were just untouchable. They played such a simple game, big runners at Cips, recycle the ball quick and then go through the gaps that were left all over the backline. Think we might need a new defence coach!

Agree with MOM for Carbery, he looks very good. Could be a fair few Lions bolters coming from Ireland if they keep up that form.

All 4 semi finalists look really strong, can't see past Sarries at this stage though.

Morning Cotswold, 

You are more than welcome to take Gloucester on until the end of the season, and further if you wish to join in. 
Create a Gloucester team page by copying the squad from one of the other pages (the one last created by a user named Driver, would most likely be the latest), and drop me a pm if you have any questions. 

Otherwise, have a read of the rules to catch up. 
You are unfortunately a little late to get in a side for this week. However, you are more than welcome to have a go at predicting this weeks scores. 

Lastly, you will most likely get bombarded with transfer offers from everyone else (you have quite a good squad in certain departments!), so take your time and don't rush into anything. 

I'll be around to help answer any other questions and queries.

Hi Pete!

Last manager wasn't very good, Gloucester have been in decline for a few years now, although a few shrewd deals and I imagine you'll be back up there no problem.

- You can buy players not in this league during the foreign windows, next one in the summer so cash is handy if you have a few targets.

- Get a basic set of tactics for the players you have and how you want to set out, just tweak each week for each opponent.

Gloucester squad is very unbalanced. As you said, too many HB's and English players are pretty poor. If I was you I'd look to improve EQ and backrow as a priority. English players are like gold dust as you need 4 to start so expect to pay over odds for top class.

Flux, I know we've previously had a cooling off period for new guys trying to deal, might be worth doing again? I know I got stung a fair bit when I first joined (mostly Chris!) due to not really understanding the rating of players.

Definitely will be keeping an eye out Pooly, nothing personal Cotswold, however want you to understand the game fully and make deals when you're comfortable.

Does anyone have Whetu Douglas here yet? I ask because usually when I see a player doing well they've been in someone's academy for about 7 seasons
