Joe Cullen has had a good first half of the year with two Players Championship titles seeing him lead by far in the ProTour rankings.

But he still sits 15th in the overall table but it isn't something which he is that concerned about but does have his eye on improving his World Championship seeding.
"I've never really looked at rankings in the sense that I need to be here, I need to be there. If you're performing well on a consistent basis on TV, the rankings will take care of themselves," said Cullen to the Weekly Dartscast.
"I've seen the projected rankings for the World Championship and I'm around 11 and 12 so if I can have a couple of solid runs on TV maybe even pinch a title on TV, I think I'll rocket straight into the top ten and they'll take care of themselves I reckon.
Premier League obsession
Always in the running for a potential Premier League spot, he also admitted a change of mindset was needed.
"I've had a good start to the year. I think if you were picking the Premier League now I'd probably get in but I've been in this position before. I've obsessed about the Premier League before and it's been to my demise. I've no doubt I will get in at some stage, so there's no point obsessing over it. It's just down to me, if I perform I'm in, if I don't I'm not."
