SERIE A FIXTURE TICKER
The fixture ticker is ranked in difficulty order, with the teams at the top enjoying the easiest schedules across Gameweeks 1-10 and those at the bottom facing the toughest runs.
WHO HAS THE BEST FIXTURES?
Lazio sit at the top of our fixture ticker. Since finishing second in 2022/23, they have been on something of a downward spiral, with their most recent Serie A campaign ending in ninth place. However, just two difficult (red) fixtures across their opening 10 matches suggests they have an excellent opportunity to start strongly. More importantly for us, their favourable schedule could offer plenty of early value for Tattico Fantasy managers.
Juventus rank second on the ticker. Early meetings with Frosinone, Parma, Cagliari, Lecce and Genoa immediately catch the eye. Although they were inconsistent offensively last season, Juventus still racked up an impressive 16 clean sheets, putting their defensive assets high on our early-season shortlists.
Under Cesc Fàbregas, Como were excellent last season. They shocked many by securing a top-four finish and, more importantly, Champions League qualification. Whether they can successfully balance domestic and European commitments remains to be seen, but three green (easy) fixtures across their opening five matches should ensure their Fantasy assets attract plenty of attention.
Lecce and Monza could provide some useful budget options. Lecce finished 17th last season, while Monza return to the top flight following an excellent campaign in Serie B. There are understandable question marks over both sides, but favourable early schedules give Tattico Fantasy managers at least some reason to consider their cheaper assets.
WHO ELSE SHOULD WE CONSIDER
We should also recognise 2025/26 Serie A champions Inter. Absolutely relentless last season, they finished 11 points clear of second-placed Napoli.
Matches against Napoli, Roma and Milan may initially look off-putting. However, Inter also face Monza, Cagliari, Udinese and Parma within their opening six matches. Given their quality and those favourable fixtures, avoiding their assets could prove problematic.
Arch-rivals Milan should also come under consideration. Although nowhere near as consistent as Inter last season, they still ended the campaign in fifth place. Interestingly, they face just one difficult fixture across their opening nine matches, so their schedule could potentially fly under the radar of Tattico Fantasy managers.
Roma have a very noticeable fixture swing during the opening part of the season. From Gameweeks 5-8, three of their four matches could be considered very difficult.
Before that, however, they face Fiorentina, Lecce, Atalanta and Torino. After registering an impressive 18 clean sheets last season, there could be plenty of appeal in backing their defensive assets early on before moving away when the schedule turns.
