M Campbell (Hamilton, Canada)
Age: 32
Current world ranking: 119

Player stats:



Received a tour card this year by virtue of finishing at the top of the European Challenge Tour Order of Merit rankings for 2021. The Canadians should once again be a good smokey for the World Cup of Darts if they can replicate their performance from 2020.

 

[Connoisseur]

Jeff Smith (Hampton, Canada)
Age: 46
Current world ranking: 60

Player stats:


The other half of the Canadian team and a twice semi finalist in the BDO World Championships (2015 and 2016). Power scoring is not his forte but he compensates for this with a nice doubling percentage.

William O’Connor (Cappamore, Ireland)
Age: 35
Current world ranking: 37

Player stats:


Has had previous success with navigating the UK Open field for a top 16 finish (2015 and 2017) entering as a participant ranked between 33-64. Selected as a challenger for the 2020 Premier League night in Dublin rivalling the best home crowd walk on from John Henderson.

Darius Labanauskas (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Age: 45
Current world ranking: 43

Player stats:


Very dangerous player on his day and one of the most likeable players. Narrowly missed out on a top 16 finish at the last edition of the UK Open losing to Simon Whitlock 9-10.

 

[Connoisseur]

Madars Razma (Liepaja, Latvia)
Age: 33
Current player ranking: 47

Player stats:

Two last 32 finishes from his three appearances at the UK Open and responsible for one of the most memorable and outrageous nine darters on the Pro Tour.

Paul Hogan (Basingstoke, England)
Age: 58
Current world ranking: NA

Player stats:


Twice has made it to the last 16 as a Riley’s qualifier, as he predominantly plays in the British Darts Organisation. Nicknamed Crocodile Dundee, walk on music is Crocodile Rock but he is very happy to pay his taxes and declare all income, thus not fully committing to the character.

Martijn Kleermaker (Harderwijk, Netherlands)
Age: 31
Current world ranking: 39

Player stats:


Reached the last 16 at the 2022 World Championships after defeating S Whitlock and J Cullen and also reached the last 16 of the 2021 UK Open.

Scott Waites (Halifax, England)
Age: 45
Current world ranking: 119

Player stats:


Successful in navigating the early field with at least three victories at each of his three appearances at the UK Open. Two time BDO World Champion (2013 and 2016) and has performed very well at the PDC Grand Slam as the BDO representative between 2009 to 2013.

 

[Connoisseur]

Andrew Gilding (Bungay, England)
Age: 51
Current world ranking: 81

Player stats:


Semi Finalist in the 2015 UK Open and was unlucky to lose to MVG in what was his best performance of his career. Sliding down the rankings since then but has the game to deliver a deep run. Currently the player I am most interested in that is ranked between 65 to 96.

Martin Schindler (Strausberg, Germany)
Age: 25

Player stats:

Michael Mansell (Clonoe, Northern Ireland)
Age: 48
Current world ranking: NA

Player stats:


Lost his tour card in 2021 and battled injury throughout the year. Regained his tour card this year at Q-School and is capable of winning of winning a few matches but lacks the scoring power of his counterparts evident by poor television performances in the past. He was fined £500 by the Darts Regulation Authority at the 2018/2019 World Chmapionships for not playing to the best of his ability.

2 weeks off fellas... View attachment 39562

Seeing I'm way off the pace, no point using PM's for picks, may as well just post them here and hopefully sucker others into following along and also having a shocker...

MVG - C
Smith
Price
Wade

I honestly have no idea, clearly.

Hopefully the UK Open draw is available soon. Plenty of good stats from Connoisseur to confuse me further by the look of it.

The draw for the first three rounds of the tournament will be made on Monday February 28.

Thanks Kevin. I have Tuesday off so hopefully it ties in and we can get the UK off the ground.

I haven’t posted my Premier League team early this week. The European Tour event is currently being held and I would like to see the conclusion of the event before deciding on a lineup. All players bar Anderson are involved.

Plenty of good stats from Connoisseur to confuse me further by the look of it.

My master plan finally taking shape.

John Michael (Athens, Greece)
Age: 47
Current world ranking: 76

Player stats:


Possesses the dance moves to rival fellow sportsman of Greek descent, Anthony Koutoufides. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for his ability in their respective sporting fields.

Jelle Klassen (Goor, Netherlands)
Age: 37
Current world ranking: NA

Player stats:

The biggest name from the Riley’s qualifiers and on his day can do a lot of damage. 2006 BDO World Champion, Semi Finalist at the 2016 PDC World Championships and 2016 UK Open, as well as a Quarter Finalist at the 2020 UK Open. Lost his tour card as well which should hopefully bode well for a deep run for Jelle.
