Welcome to Season 10 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:
- Senior Squads
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:
- Academy Rules
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 1995.
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:
- Transfers
- 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 from Monday 7th August, 0900.
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
- Player Releases:
- Player Releases
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:
- Retirements
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:
- Fixtures
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:
- Teams
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 & Suspensions:
- Injuries and Suspensions
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated.
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:
- Financial Rewards
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

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.

I wasn't surprised at all by Falcons, good side especially at home.
slightly surprised by Irish, but we have a good pack and will be competitive this season.
Worcester will struggle I think, especially now Teo is injured

Think it is going to be a very high standard this year. No squad, except possibly Worcester, aren't capable of going for a Top 6 spot in my eyes.

Re: Season 10 Homepage
It will definitely be a good season, and hopefully will peak more interest in the sport in the UK!
Quick note, a few of you have bids in at the moment, however do not have the funds to complete your transfers.
Could you please release players that are required to bring in the funds to complete your bid, should you still wish to bring in that player.
Pooly, fancy a quick score predo on the weekend games?

Thread up for this weeks round of games.
Need squads updated by this Friday, and likewise foreigns will close at the same time.
And we still need three managers. Ask brothers, fathers, sisters, mothers, cousins, friends, strange people you see in the street... if they fancy a go!

I would rather hold of at the moment.
Not to say I am not thinking about caretakers, but I don't want those sides to loose their identity too much .

Re: Season 10 Homepage
Gents,
We have come to the point where this game has come to a real stagnation and where, in m view, the game is not being as enjoyed by many. I think this is down to numerous factors including availability of foreign signings and the strengths of those teams who have had consistent managers.
I am going to make a suggestion that the game begins again and squads are reset to current AP squads. Budgets are then set to suit current squad strengths. My feeling is this may re-energise the game and could attract managers who have left the game in recent times as three managers down is certainly causing an issue. I don't think there are issues with the game set up and think the rules work quite well (possibly an argument over EQ players being too important, maybe their could be a limit to Southern Hemisphere players in squads)
I haven't PM'ed anyone regarding this suggestion and am happy to be shot down. But I'm concerned the game doesn't have a long term future in its current format and feel this would be an enormous shame as it brings pleasure, enjoyment and like-minded rugby fans together for discussion.
Interested to hear what you think

Fair post Steve.
I'm of a similar feeling and have for a few seasons. Flux does an amazing job and the league seems to be struggling. It's certainly worth a discussion I think.

I have been one who has been against a reset in previous seasons, but now I think it is time. Fluxy does indeed do an amazing job as have those before him. I certainly wouldn't be able to do it.

I'm not especially keen on a reset with all the work I've put into Falcons, but happy to go with the majority
Would it be worth creating a new league with Pro14/Top 14/Super Rugby franchises all available to select the starting side from

We've tried these type of leagues a few times bam and they rarely last past a season. It's hard to rate the squad players in other leagues as not all of us watch them and not affiliation to youth etc.

Re: Season 10 Homepage
i guess put it to a vote?
I think re-starting would revitalise the game as there would be a lot of dealing. it would just have to be a fair system in terms of money ie minimal for the top teams and a lot for whoever takes Worcester and irish!

Re: Season 10 Homepage
I agree, vote prob the best way if you're happy Flux.
Maybe look for new managers before starting the league obviously. Big thought/discussion required for budgets and how many foreigns each side can have. There's a fair gap between top 6 and bottom 6 imo.
I'd have it roughly as:
1. Saracens
1.5. Wasps
2. Bath
3. Leicester
4. Quins
5. Saints
7. Exeter
8. Gloucester
9. Sale
10. Falcons
11. Worcester
12. Irish
I know the league shows otherwise but looking at top eq and stars. Maybe do on England Ints?
