We’re Simone and Edoardo.

We built Fantascores because we were tired of losing to other people’s injuries.

We played fantasy football for years and never really liked it. You draft in August, and a hamstring in October decides your season.

So in 2022 we tried something new: no players, just scores. A spreadsheet, ten Serie A fixtures, a column for each of us. Three points for the exact score, one for the right result.

What hooked us was the table. One good gameday and you go from fifth to first. Easy to play, never settled. You need to know some football — that’s the game.

Four years later we’re still playing. So we had an idea and started building it: Fantascores is that spreadsheet, rebuilt so you don’t have to be in our group chat to play.

This is the first one. Serie A, 2022, the first half of the season. Ten fixtures a week, team colours filled in by hand, results typed in on Monday morning.

The original 2022 Serie A prediction spreadsheet: kickoff times down the left, team names in hand-picked colours, the final score of each match, and a column of predictions for each player, with exact calls highlighted in green.

Fourteen matchdays later the top three were separated by three points. The best single gameday anyone had was worth thirteen. Ted led for seven matchdays in a row and lost it on the second to last.

That’s the whole game: nothing is safe and nothing is over. Fantascores scores the way it does because the spreadsheet already worked.

Real scores from our first season. Our friends’ names are changed and the labels are translated — the numbers are untouched. Simone is one of the two of us.

What we promise

  • No money, anywhere. Nothing is staked, nothing is won, nothing has a cash value. Fantascores is not a betting product and it will never carry odds.
  • No ads. No bookmaker money. Not now, not at any size.
  • Nothing in the game is for sale — not points, not extra picks, not a later deadline. If Fantascores ever charges for anything it will be for organising your league, never for winning it.
  • Picks stay hidden until the deadline. Everyone turns over at once — you can’t copy anyone, and nobody can copy you.
  • Your data is yours. Export it or delete it whenever you want. That’s in your settings today, not coming soon.
  • Founders stay free. Any league that exists before there is ever a paid tier keeps everything it has, permanently.

Fantascores costs a domain and our evenings. If you want to help with the first one, you can.

It doesn’t buy you anything inside the game. It can’t — that’s the point.
