With 2026, a new championship-related game mode arrives on Fantacycling: pick and play . As the name suggests, in the competition you'll have to choose nine riders for each race by accessing the app's home screen.
Compared to the traditional championship, exchanges and capital gains will be eliminated: it is therefore a simpler mode capable of attracting a greater number of users.

As mentioned, for each race you will have to purchase and field 9 riders : the price limits (still being updated) will depend on the race category and will be made official in the next few days.

The indicative price ranges are as follows:

Cat 5. 100-150 FTM
Cat 4. 150-180 FTM
Cat 3 180-210 FTM
Cat 2.5 230-250 FTM
Cat 2. 210-230 FTM
Cat 1. 250-270 FTM

For ProSeries races and Italian category 6 races (excluding pick and play championship mode), however, the maximum cap will range between 40 and 130 FTM, depending on the prestige of the race.

You will only be able to enter your lineup once the race appears in the app, i.e. within 10 days of the start . From that moment on, the runners' odds will be locked for that race.
Obviously, participation in the pick and play will not preclude participation in the standard championship and vice versa.
