Wouldnt it perhaps have been better to abandon this years premier league, and maybe put the prize money into some other competitions that those lower down the scale can enter and maybe win some prize money? The lower ranked players could do with a boost im  sure.

It would always be good to push some of the money down to the lower ranks in any sport, but it never happens 

People want to watch the elite, big sponsors back the elite so that's where the money stays

Well, is that performance just now from Van Gerwen evidence that his darting dominance is over? He has been pretty awful since the Premier league restarted, and not been particulalry great for a while. He was so consistent, but I think the bubble may have burst. He will still win tournaments for sure, but can he ever get back to the Van Gerwen of 2/3 years ago?

It all goes back to when he swapped darts sponsors and he has had the Winmau darts. 

He still plays well, but only in short spells, just like the rest of the players

Premier League starts again just after Easter, 5 nights in a row behind closed doors. 

I find that this element means that the performances vary, MVG underperforming, and the likes of Durrant overperforming.

After tipping Durrant to win at 12s halfway through last year, this year I am siding with Jonny Clayton at 18s this year. He has had a great start to the year, winning the Masters to qualify, then winning a floor event and making several finals too. Each way again, so paid at 6/1 if he makes the final in May.

@1pstaker we having a little league for the premier league? Even if no prizes, there has to be a trophy up for grabs!

@Frosty. now it is confirmed, I will come up with something. 

On the tourney itself, I cant see Durrant doing anything this year. Sure he will go down as a one hit wonder. If he hadnt of won it, I dont honestly think he'd be anywhere being in it this year. Be tempted to have a bet on a bottom 2 of Durrant and Smith.

@1pstaker  I am watching mastermind and I think you need to enter  even their special subject scores are bad.  You also should be ok on general knowledge and now you just need a specialist subject

Surely anyones specialist subject currently would be "The war between @Gkell727 and @Blacko, Feb - Mar 2021"

Rob Cross has to be involved in that too, World No4. now, could quite easily be out of T16 end of year

Premier league back up tonight! 

No fans but they are getting through the Prem over the next couple of weeks in the same venue. Some close run fixtures tonight:

Nathan Aspinal vs Glen Durrant 

Rob Cross vs Jose De Sousa 

Peter Wright vs Johnny Clayton 

James Wade vs Gary Anderson 

Mvg vs Dimitri van den Bergh

 

If I had to pick, I'd go Durrant, de Sousa, Wright, Wade, MVG. You can still have draws at the moment, so I can see a few of these. 

In terms of form I think Wade and Clayton have been in generally good form in the last 6 months, and Cross and MVG by their standards have been off form.

My bet is going to be De Sousa, Wright and MVG treble (going for the tested quality and added de sousa vs hopefully an out of form cross.)

4 draws out of 5 wow

Must admit didn’t see that coming. I used to do a £1 lucky 31 on 5 draws. Normally about 9/2 but gave up after going about 2 years without even a treble. Durrant is really struggling with his game and has been for a while. He good be this year's Daryl Gurney of the Premier league.

Darts again tonight (think it's like every night now). Fixtures are:

 

Anderson vs De Sousa

Clayton vs Durrant

Van den Bergh vs Aspinal 

Mvg vs Wright

Wade vs Cross

 

I think Clayton should be a shoe in vs Durrant, he seems to be well off form. Perhaps Wade to best Cross would be the other one to pick out for a win. Mvg and Aspinal games will surely be a draw or 1 leg in it.

Clayton brushes aside Durrant as expected. Dimitri and Aspinal share plenty of legs and Dimitri takes out 87 on the bull for 7-5.

Just need over 10.5 legs in the mvg game and wade to beat cross for a 5/1

Peter Wright was shocking there
