Luke Littler takes top spot in PDC's alternative world rankings
PDCThursday, 25 January 2024 at 21:51
Christopher Kempf, who is in charge of all sorts of statistics and data at the PDC, has brought out an alternative world ranking.
For this alternative world ranking, Kempf takes into account each PDC player's last 200 legs played, his average, his scores between 171 and 180, his checkouts that require three darts and his doubles. When we put all these statistics side by side, Luke Littler comes out on top. The 17-year-old Englishman owes this to his strong performance at the past World Darts Championship. In the regular world rankings, he is currently ranked 31st.
In second place in these alternative world rankings, we find Luke Humphries, ranked number one in the regular world rankings. Humphries follows very closely behind the man he beat in the final at the Alexandra Palace.

The top three is completed by Michael van Gerwen, who remains at just under a 100 average. Van Gerwen does score remarkably better on his doubles than the numbers one and two.
Notable absentees in the top ten this alternative world ranking are Nathan Aspinall (4th in the regular world ranking), Danny Noppert (7th in the regular world ranking). Also Peter Wright and Dave Chisnall, both though in the top ten of the regular world rankings, stranded outside the top ten in this alternative world rankings.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
