Welcome to Season 6 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 (me) 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 20 players.  Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1991.

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.  These players must be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me 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 me 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.

    Structured Window

    No cash will be used and each team will get effectively free transfers by way of a draft, which will run 12th, 11th, 10th …… 1st, 12th, 11th,10th… 1st place side.  This will run from 10th June 2013 until all teams have had their two picks. 

    Open Window

    Open transfer window, teams have unlimited bids provided they have the financial resources to cover them.  Teams may only bid for one player at a time.


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 Domestic Transfer 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 Heineken Cup, Amlin 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.  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 Saturday.  Managers will post 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.  If you are not providing a descriptive prediction you will be restricted to predicting a 1 point win either way.
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:-

At least 10 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 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 forfeiting the match and 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 for a first offence, two for a second offence and so on.
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
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.

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 (ozzy3213) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Is this the Mark Atkinson previously of the Sale academy? If so only ever saw him play 12 coming through when I still had him on here. Not followed him at all since leaving Sale though

Hope he's improved since he was at Wasps!

Watched him in a fair few A league games and he never looked like he'd make it as a no10 as he was massive, could see him being a good no12 though.

Cook most improved player in the prem this year been excellent for glos. Improved highball, tackling, kicking and a great rubber. Amazed no one has gone for him on here. Needs to work on his one on one tackling a bit but a very good player

It's a ploy by bath too make the rfu chip in some cash for his transfer and wages. Ford is aware what happened when Andy Farrell was played in the backrow to start with. He will be at 12.

There was lots of stuff in the local rag before I came away how bath were going to try and force rfu hand

I can't see how RFU can get involved fairly, they'd surely have to give every team cash??

I do think he'll end up in the backrow, will work for him with his lack of gas and handling skills. He'll just need to pick the ball up and run hard.

Breakdown and everything else will be too much. A lot
More to backrow than pick up the ball and run.

Rfu funded Ben Morgan to glos and a few others. It's to get test id'd players in to ap

Morgan does little breakdown work.

I'd say 8 is the generally the least technical position in the backrow in open play. He'd need to learn to control at the base but his carrying is his main asset, 8 is where he'd get to use this the most.

So much wrong with what you have written there I don't know where to start. 8 the most technically difficult position in the pack after hooker. In open play there is so much to consider be it on defence or attack.

8 has to be a true reader of the game to be decent 8 in the mould of Hari parisse read Dallaglio etc.

I could write an essay on how much more technical 8 is in open play compared to other positions.

Not all about breakdown. Morgans
Tackle rate in 6 nations was up there and it's all the off the ball stuff in open play that you need to understand.

Reason why not many players
Can play 8.
It's highly specialised.

I said the 8 generally gets involved less at the breakdown therefore be easier than 6/7.

It would work within the England set up for example as we use the 8 as a destructive carrier first and foremost.

1st or 2nd reciever off phased ball, bosh it up

Tough one can't see him working at 8. We
Have depth there.
He would never pick up the reading of the game from 8 which would kill our defence.

Can't think of anyone who has moved to 8 late in life and made a success of it. Even players who have been in union all their life.

I think it's a more important role than the flanks , directly affects the game with it being part of the spine of a team. Have to have pretty good all round game and be switched on to play it at a decent standard, can dictate the tempo of a game.

We've got a bosher playing at 8 for my club and we suffer so much , for every 2 big carriers he doesn't clean ball up , hit rucks or join the mucky stuff. I was packing down at 6 and cleaning the ball up which he didn't pick and go with.

Agree, 8 probably effects the game more as a top carrier can get you over the gain line and that dictates the tempo from the rest of the team. I think the flanks offer more at the breakdown generally though and if the balance is right you can leave the 8 to cause problems elsewhere.

I'd disagree that 8 is more difficult to play than flank effectively though, you could adapt a game plan to incorporate a carrying 8.

Great great signing by glos.

Will not play every game but we badly need experience with tins retiring. Can't have a team with no experience.

Been there done that and will add depth.

Really happy with that

He's looked close to death this season, so glad we didn't get him

Surprised you don't think Burgess has the hands to play no12, he's a pretty brutal ball carrier over 30 metres, so would be ideal. It sounds like he wants to play in the RWC, or at least give it a very good go, so can't see Bath playing him in the backrow as he just wont pick up the skillsets in time.

You want someone like Burgess running off the no10 as much as possible - only thing could be is that they rate Deveto so highly that they see him as the long-term 12 at Bath.

Palmer has class games and then not so great - though I think we play players who are injured and don't get the best from them. We have such a high injury list each season and it seems like the stupid little niggles that the players dont get over.

Will be good for Gloucester with his experience, but can't see him playing overly much.

Carrying well doesn't mean you have good hands. Burgess rarely passes or off loads.

See Crusaders lost again

Yep English born to Irish parents. Only becomes locked to Ireland if he plays for the full side or Wolfhounds.
