Darts: Premier League Outright

[kevshat]

Sharpey started the week 1 thread but we need an outright thread for such a long event I think. Especially as the odds are likely to chop and change by the week.

Re: Darts: Premier League Outright For me the best value pick for this would be Part @ 14/1 especially considering how someone like Lewis can be half that price but I cant help but remember his performance in the PL last time when commuting to and from Canada badly failed and even though i do not know what his preparations are going to be like this year, I just have a feeling that a certain Wade is really going to build on his good year last year this season and in the longer games in the finals I think he might be hard to beat. Wade @ 4/1 10 pts. Last year he really developed into a prolific winner on the stage as well as the floor and whilst it would be foolish to write off Barney and Taylor I do think Wade is the man in form at the moment and when the matches get longer, in this leg format I think he will be hard to beat. Ok he did not play at his best in the WC but I generally think that he was unwell for a fair amount of that and that did affect him. He then played well enough when just pipped by Part in the q/f and his form after that on the floor has been good with a win and a semi. Some notable others in here do not have such form coming into the event. Over the 14 games he should do more than enough to be in the top 4 and then form there I beleive he can up his level in the leg format which he seemingly prefers although personally I think he can play any format. Lewis not to qualify @ 6/5 10 pts. This format should actually suit Lewis with him normally being a player who starts well enough before fading but I thought that last year when he was given a wildcard and he wasted the wildcard and looked out of depth and simply could not cope with the situation. He has a second chance this year but I still think that over 14 games, Taylor, Barney will be strong enough to qualify and Wade comes into that bracket too as I highlighted earlier. That leaves one place and the bookies favour Lewis to get that spot but i am not convinced. Part looks more likely for me and even Jenkins although he has hit his first quiet patch for a while, Mardle and Manley perhaps more unlikely but I will take Lewis not to qualify and a tricky start after his first game with Taylor and Wade could mean he struggles from an early stage.
