With so few events remaining now may be the time to use one of your remaining captain's picks and utilise the double points that you can get on a selected pick.

As the rule on captain's picks was that they had to be outside of the top 32 or top 64 at the start of the season, anybody who has a season pick in this week's World Grand Prix (Top 32 on the one season money list) will receive 10 bonus points (these points are not currently shown in the table).

Meanwhile, my "Beat the boss" picks for the Grand Prix are: Stuart Bingham and Stephen Maguire. 

All the very best to all the players in the league ahead of this week.
