Top 10 players in the world

[Paddy McGinty]

Durrant played very well this week, however currently he is nowhere near the Top 10 in the world.

Don't wish to torpedo your thread but would suggest you copy and paste 1-10 from the PDC OOM thread and then you have your answer. The only debatable point perhaps is the order of those 10.

What planet are you on? you have no idea about darts.

[Robson]

The Bullet will be back in the top 10 soon - Hes not quite there at the moment - Hes top 15 to 20 - Same with Montgomery -

Given Durrant beat the PDC elite at the GSoD and made the last 8 then he clearly should be in the top 10, no?

Doesnt make sense to exclude him does it - I like Whitlock and Bullet better - But Duzza is the better player at the moment -

The list I posted was from DDB from the last 12 months.

This is better than your thelad1985 effort, tbf.

Good work Chris -

When you think about the top 10 players you have to think...Bristow who helped create Taylor who won 16 world championships that will probably never be matched and in turn, A lot of the current players aspired to beat Taylor as he was the man to beat so looking at it that way you would have to say the greatest player of all time was Bristow

An argument could be made for including Durrant in the top 10 on current form, but McGeeney and Mitchell? That's just daft. Mitchell can attain a high level occasionally but not nearly often enough and McGeeney's A-game just isn't enough to cut it when regularly facing the PDC top 20.

I'd say Durrant could get to about the 12th position on the PDC OoM, maybe with a peak at around 8 if he had a spell of good form. McGeeney and Mitchell aren't any better than Green or Norris and would struggle to even reach the top 16. As a matter of fact I'd think McGeeney would be unlikely to even reach 20th place.

[Black Velvet]

McGeeney wouldn't be top 64.

McGeeney is the current world number 1 in the BDO - He had darts to win Lakeside - to put him outside the top 20 doesnt make sense - Durrent at the minute is better than anyone not named MVG - Anderson is too inconsistent - Wright is going through a bad patch -

McGeeney doesn't have regular competition from world class players to contest his position. Brian Woods and James Wilson were BDO number ones and are just fillers in PDC tournaments. Jeffrey de Graaff was a BDO top player for years and is now nearly anonymous on the PDC tour. The BDO table is almost useless in determining the real differences in class in the BDO, decent players who take the effort to travel Europe are way to high up.

Durrant has little to no chance of beating MvG, Gary Anderson, Peter Wright, Rob Cross, Mensur Suljovic, Daryl Gurney, Michael Smith or Raymond van Barneveld in a decent length match. He lacks the experience and the mental part of the game. Behind those players there are at least a baker's dozen who are about even with Durrant in longer matches.

The only thing not making sense is your appreciation of what it means to be BDO number one. Given the will and opportunity to visit as many events as McGeeney does there are more than enough players in the BDO itself who'd knock him off his pedestal.

[Black Velvet]

Stop putting Suljovic, Smith and Gurney in there ffs!

[Mgt]

Best to 10/12 they'd beat him 8 out of 10 times. Especially when he has to cope with facing players of their calibre week in, week out. Durrant can't keep his level high for long enough.

Durrant played over a long format this weekend - And scored some great averages - Cant see Cross Suljovic Gurney RVB beating him more times than not - Anderson too inconsistent - Wright is not in form - Smith might be close to him at the moment - But needs to prove he can do it consistently - MVG is only player better than Durrant right now -

McGeeney is underrated -

We won't agree on McGeeney no matter how long we talk about it. Guess we'll have to wait for the best comparison opportunity we have at the moment, the GSOD. Both of them have already qualified for that.

[ChrisW]

Exactly why these threads are a bit pointless. Always comes down to personal opinion and mostly favourite players swaying sensible thought.

[Robson]

Good point MGT - We will see with McGeeney - I like him so I might be a bit biased in his favour -

Whatever the BDO top 10 is...
