To be fair, you’re always worried…
Better than being overly arrogant though.

My first selection for the World Championship is Mark Selby. Will post my complete selection tomorrow (yet to decide on a player from the bottom half of the draw).

All the evidence does point to a Selby-Higgins final, which would set the sport back, in my opinion, after two first-time winners back-to-back.
However, not picking either. Got to be my man Wanko for me

So, I’m going out with a bang!
CHRIS WAKELIN and BARRY ‘the Hawk’ HAWKINS please

I've added those choices.
For clarity, if I don't get hear a second choice from Gninnur Karona the second teammate will remain as Judd Trump from the previous tournaments.
For everyone else the deadline is 10am Saturday 19th April 2025
On the back of Ed's tip, I'll be going with John Higgins and Mark Selby.

Yeh, I factored everything in - Curses and all - and seems very probable, albeit not one that would set my pulse racing.

Manty taking a massive gamble going for Kyren. There's no way Kyren breaks the Crucible curse.

I dunno, I think you’ve taken a bigger gamble going for Judd Trump

I've now received updated teams from everyone apart from Holden. If I don't hear anything his pick will be: Kyren Wilson and Ali Carter.

Revolving Cues 2024-2025 Final ResultsWith an exciting
no points scored in the World Championship, the only change of scores is to leader Gninnur Karona, who loses two points for picking wildcard Si Jiahui. The results are as follows:
1st 
Gninnur Karona = 20 points 2ndMantorok = 19 points
3rdChengduFan = 14 points
4thMcManusFan = 13 points
5th SnookerFan = 12 points
=6thJuddernaut88 & Holden Chinaski = 10 points
8thIranu = 9 points
9thSnookerEd25 = 8 pts
10thProp = 3 points
Congratulations to Gninnur Karona, whose staunch picking of Kyren Wilson stood him in good stead for the whole year. Commiserations to Mantorok, who came within 1 point of doing the double.
We are indebted to Iranu for devising this wonderful format, and I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to manage it for the last few events.
