Fantasy Snooker: Points Update and Gibraltar Open info

It's all change in the Fantasy Snooker league after the completion of the Welsh Open and World Grand Prix, despite not one player in the league picking any of the semi-finalists in Cardiff. Those that have season picks on Noppon Saengkham gained the most from his run to the last four.

A familiar face continues his domination at the top of the table, with a lead of over 100 points going into the final four events. The absence of a number of top players in the first of those, the Gibraltar Open, should get the players thinking outside of the box for their two selections. Don't forget, with the World Championships already being a double points event, you can only use a Captain's pick in the next three events, so now is the time to starting using them or losing them.

Along with that, you can only pick a player three times over the course of the season. It is YOUR responsibility to check this as a couple of participants have already fallen foul of the rule and lost out because of it.

Here is how the league table stands after the Welsh Open, complete with players you have used so far and how many of your three captains picks you have used:
