Gary Anderson in top spot on PDC's form guide after blistering start to 2024

Gary Anderson has been back to somewhere near his very best in the early part of 2024. In excellent form again in recent months, the 53-year-old Scot is piling up high averages.
Anderson already won a Players Championship this year and now also ranks first in the alternative world rankings created by PDC statistician Christopher Kempf. For this, Kempf takes into account only the last 200 legs played by each player.
'The Flying Scotsman' achieved an average of 102.12 in those 200 legs, quite a bit better than number two Luke Humphries (99.66). Anderson also threw by far the most scores between 171 and 180, doing well above Humphries' 77 with 98.
In third place in this alternative world ranking we find Michael van Gerwen. The 34-year-old Dutchman, who won the past three nights of Premier League Darts play, achieving 98 average. His doubles percentage of 41.77 is better than that of Anderson (40.95) and Humphries (40.66), though.
Just outside the top three and just behind number four Gerwyn Price, we find Mike De Decker in fifth place. With that, the Belgian is doing even narrowly better than Stephen Bunting, who managed to win the Masters earlier this year.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
