Despite not having a deep run at the
UK Open,
Gary Anderson remains the clear leader in the current PDC form guide.
For that alternative world ranking, PDC statistician Christopher Kempf only takes into account each player's last 200 legs. Anderson, who surprisingly lost 10-5 to Martin Lukeman in the last 16 of the UK Open, achieves an average of 102.03.
With that, 'The Flying Scotsman' far outperforms number two Luke Humphries. Humphries achieves an average of 99.38. The difference is mainly in the throws between 171 and 180 scores. Anderson threw no less than 104 in the last 200 legs, Humphries 'only' 67. Anderson also threw many more high finishes than Humphries.
In third place we find Luke Littler with 98.60 average. The top five is completed by Gerwyn Price and recent semi-finalist in Minehead Damon Heta.
Just behind, in sixth place, is
Mike De Decker. The 28-year-old Belgian had a very good start to the year, in which he managed to qualify for three European Tour events. At the past UK Open, he reached the fifth round.
Michael van Gerwen, who had a disappointing early exit at the UK Open, is seventh in this alternative world ranking.
