Fantasy Snooker: Masters points and German Masters info

The second double points event of the season has come to a close and it has made a big difference to those in the running for this year's fantasy snooker title. Not only has Judd Trump's victory given defending champion Kellie Barker the lead once again in the standings, but she was joined by three other participants who fired up the standings by combining a pick on Trump by selecting losing finalist Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The others to select Trump and O'Sullivan were Phil Mudd (up to joint 8th from 19th), Kim Kristensen (up to 12th from joint 23rd) and Daniel Gavin (up to 15th from 27th). It remains tight though with the top four in the standings being separated by just 30 points, while each of the top nine in the standings are within 100 points, so a couple of good weeks for the chasing pack or a couple of bad weeks for the leaders could see the standings changing once more.

Next up in the Fantasy League is the German Masters and the deadline for picks there falls on Wednesday 30 January at 1pm before the first matches at the venue get underway. The qualifiers for this one were played just prior to Christmas meaning there are 32 players heading to Berlin with a shot at the title. Those that have a season pick in the 32 for Berlin will receive points from the last 128 and last 64 matches for that player (not shown in the above table).

Immediately following the German Masters will be the World Grand Prix and the draw for this event will only be confirmed after the event in Berlin has been completed so keep a close eye on that ahead of further upcoming picks in what will be a busy February on the baize. Don't forget in all of the busyness that you can only select a player three times over the course of the season and with a few top players missing from the German Masters draw, this week may be a good opportunity to look outside of the box a touch.
