Is Dave Chisnall an elite player?

[Emulsfier]

Well?

[shenmue]

On TV definitely not, elite choker though. Fun to watch. Good on the tour usually.

[The Thorn]

I define elite as top 4 or top 8 player

So at the moment no due to ominous TV record

There were some points in time where he was definitely elite (almost topping the PL league phase comes to mind)

[TheMalteseDart]

elite
/ɪˈliːt,eɪˈliːt/
noun
1.
a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.


How can you be in the top 10 in the World at something and not be in that category?

Thing is this has come from Oche in the other thread saying Chizzy isn't an elite player, but in the tournament he beat MVG he got to the semi final and was seeded 8th.

[Safc]

Been Top 16 for practically a decade that is elite to me.

[The real ssjsa]

100% an Elite player.

On his day capable of beating any other player as evidenced by him thrashing MVG 5-0 whilst averaging over 107 in the 2020/21 World Championship Quarter-Finals.

Can't argue with that.

Pretty much only losing to elite players. Wright, Wade, Jose, Chizzy, Price etc. Nothing to see here

[The Thorn]

I concede

[Emulsfier]

I view elite players as the ones that can be reasonably thought of as likely title contenders at the beginning of big tournies.

So no I view him as elite, even thought I love him.

[PT13]

Chizzy is capable of playing the highest standard of darts at times, but is rarely consistent and so far not consistent enough to win TV majors despite the European Tour wins.

I love you but your spelling and grammar are dire mate

Im not made of dictionaries.

Depends on how you define elite. The actual definition of elite is quite vague and leaves room for personal preferences.

There have been periods where Chizzy has been among the top 5 performing players in the world. The 2015 PL comes to mind, or some runs in non-TV events.

All that accounted for, he's never won a PDC TV event and hasn't been ranked in the top 5 in the OOM since 2013. So in general, I do not rate him among the elite.

[tungsten tossers]

Yep, he is an an elite player

+1

[.Scatman.]

On current form i have voted no.

Ok,thanks.

[Dfc180]

On current form i have voted no.

Ok,thanks.

Currently 5th highest earner of the year? Hardly terrible form

[Deadshot]

To be at the top end as long as he has, certainly an argument but until he wins a major there will always be a debate
