Beyond the main Fantacampionato, Gazzetta`s fantasy sports platform offers exciting supplementary games. Discover how `Head-to-Head` and `Fanta 5` work and what prizes await.
Fantacampionato, Gazzetta`s premier fantasy football game, has officially returned, inviting fantasy managers to dive into the 2025-26 player list and begin crafting their dream teams. The excitement extends beyond the core game with the relaunch of popular side games: `Fantaduello,` `Fanta 5,` and `Head-to-Head` (Testa a Testa). This season brings significant updates to `Fanta 5` and `Head-to-Head,` which we will explore in detail.
Head-to-Head (Testa a Testa)
A significant change for the `Head-to-Head` game is the removal of the overall general leaderboard. Now, only daily rankings will be available. The game`s core objective remains unchanged: predict which player in a given pair will achieve the higher score—or an equal score—among the 22 players selected by Gazzetta`s editors. For instance, if Lautaro and Lukaku are matched, players must guess who will receive the better rating from Gazzetta`s official scorecards. The possibility of equal scores is also accounted for, alongside various bonuses and penalties (e.g., goals, assists, yellow cards, red cards, own goals).
This game is exclusively for Gazzetta subscribers with a `Full` or `Pro` membership linked to their tax ID. Predictions can be adjusted up to one minute before the day`s first match kicks off. Each match day, a €1,000 Amazon gift voucher is awarded. This prize is equally split among all fantasy managers who achieve a perfect score (11/11), up to a maximum of 100 winners. For example, if 50 fantasy managers hit a perfect score, each receives €20; if 100, each gets €10.
If no player achieves a perfect score, the entire daily prize fund rolls over to the next day, doubling the prize pool to €2,000 in Amazon.it gift vouchers, distributed under the same conditions until the contest concludes.
Fanta 5
Similar to Head-to-Head, the overall general ranking has been removed from Fanta 5. This game mode will run from the 7th to the 38th match day of the season and is structured into eight distinct phases, each spanning four consecutive match days. These phases will run sequentially without overlap, and each new phase will reset scores, disregarding previous phase results.
The fundamental gameplay remains consistent: assemble a 5-a-side football squad comprising ten players—five starters and five reserves. Players operate with an unlimited budget and a fixed formation: one goalkeeper, one defender, two midfielders, and one forward (both for the starting lineup and the bench). After each match day, managers must create an entirely new team from scratch. Players who contributed to a team`s score on a given day (including any bench players who entered play and received a rating) become unavailable for selection in subsequent days for that specific fantasy manager.
However, at the conclusion of the first four phases (following the 22nd match day), all individual player lists are reset, and the complete Gazzetta player list becomes available again to all fantasy managers until the start of Serie A`s 23rd match day. Each phase offers a prize pool of €1,000 in Amazon.it gift vouchers. This prize is equally distributed among all fantasy managers who achieve the highest score in that phase, up to a maximum of 100 winners, with winnings rounded up to the nearest euro. If more than 100 players are tied for the top score, a notary will conduct a lottery to determine the 100 winners.
