Thanks. So this must be a definition of the word I've never known before.

Good list
I admit Merkx being that high is a surprise but a pleasant one

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
Littler, Nijman and Berry have won cards via the CT/DT. Somebody like Kist or Hendo can still grab the 2nd CT spot too.
Most of the others will do Q-School I'd think. Many are on the Challenge Tour.

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
Has Raymond van Smith been playing any Modus this year? Haven't heard anything of him since the Worlds, although I understand these ratings take into account results from the distant pastRogg wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 9:00 am FDI (Darts Orakel Power Rankings) @FDI_Index https://twitter.com/FDI_Index

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
Some strange entries in there. Penhall is definitely not 6th and Steve West is a better player than Beau, Boulton has always ranked higher than Koltsov when they’ve both been on the tour as well. Maybe Beau constantly playing against shite lowers her levels it’s hard to place her above some of them. Merxk isn’t top 20

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
Penhall absolutely dominated the Aussie tour, which these ratings seem to place a lot of weight on even if it's a much weaker circuit than it's been in recent yearsTheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 10:54 am Some strange entries in there.

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
You have to remember that these rankings mean absolutely fuck all due to them not playing in the same competitions or against each other all the timeTheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 10:54 am Some strange entries in there.

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
Yes. The likes of Penham and Greaves would have too high ratings because of playing weaker opponentsDfc180 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 11:38 amYou have to remember that these rankings mean absolutely fuck all due to them not playing in the same competitions or against each other all the timeTheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 10:54 am Some strange entries in there.

Same doesn't go for Merkx however. Maybe not top 20 but it's a good list to see who is possibly underrated

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
I guess there's no such thing as a list which accurately shows the good-ness of players relative to each other anyway. At best we can use them as flawed estimates of something that's highly subjective.

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
So when Bunting won the Worlds in 2014 it could only be subjectively argued that Taylor and MVG were better players than him at the time as they played in different codes?

Re: Journeymen and prospects without a Tour Card
I've seen these sort of models applied to other sports and they have produced some utterly baffling results. They miss a lot of variables.TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 5:17 pmSo when Bunting won the Worlds in 2014 it could only be subjectively argued that Taylor and MVG were better players than him at the time as they played in different codes?
Claiming MVG was superior to Bunting in 2014 could be perceived as a subjective judgement, but it's common fucking sense really.
