Managing Fantasy Football Teams During Italian Super Cup Postponements

The 2025 Italian football season will kick off with the traditional Italian Super Cup. This year’s edition will take place between January 2-6, featuring a four-team format with semifinals and finals. Inter, Atalanta, Milan, and Juventus will compete in Saudi Arabia.

Due to the Super Cup, several Serie A matches from the 19th round (last of the first half) will be postponed. The affected games include Atalanta vs Juventus, Inter vs Bologna, and Como vs Milan. These matches will be rescheduled for mid-January, creating a mini-midweek round after the 20th matchday.

For fantasy football managers, this situation raises questions about how to handle postponed matches. The typical approach is to wait 24 hours before assigning a default score of 6 points to all players involved in the postponed games. However, since these matches are already scheduled for later dates, most fantasy leagues will likely opt for the 6-point default score.

Leagues that prefer to wait for the actual match results can do so, but this requires coordination among participants. Ultimately, the decision on how to manage postponed games in fantasy football depends on the league’s rules and the preferences of its members.
