Provisional Field European Darts Matchplay 2018

It is an event that has stayed the same and as a result, Michael van Gerwen will be back to defend his title. He claimed the 2015 and 2017 editions of the European Darts Matchplay. The other previous winner James Wade is not there this time out which in turn as well as Dave Chisnall pulling out again means that Kim Huybrechts and Steve Beaton claim seeded status. Some players who have impressed especially on the floor including Luke Humphries, Ryan Joyce & Michael Barnard will be involved having qualified through the UK Qualifier. Darius Labanauskas and Boris Koltsov are the Nordic and Baltic and Eastern European qualifier respectively with the other qualifiers being decided before the night before the tournament begins. for more information on the European Tour. 1 Michael van Gerwen 2 Peter Wright 3 Michael Smith 4 Rob Cross 5 Daryl Gurney 6 Joe Cullen 7 Mensur Suljovic 8 Jonny Clayton 9 Ian White 10 Darren Webster 11 Gerwyn Price 12 Mervyn King 13 Simon Whitlock 14 Stephen Bunting 15 Kim Huybrechts 16 Steve Beaton Robert Owen, Michael Barnard, Jamie Bain, James Wilson, Martin Atkins (Wigan), Keegan Brown, Darren Johnson, Paul Rowley, Justin Pipe, Luke Humphries, Andy Boulton, Ryan Joyce, Chris Dobey, William O’Connor, Robert Thornton, Jim Brown, Mark Wilson, Jason Lowe - x8 TBD - x4 TBD Darius Labanauskas Boris Koltsov
