Mark Webster

Paul Nicholson picks

Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price are self-explanatory, they've been there and done it and will be there at the business end of the tournament.

Josh Rock, while he hasn't been as explosive as last year, I'm expecting him to have a good tournament. Dave Chisnall hasn't done anything on TV yet this year but that has to change sooner or later, if he plays like he can he will go deep.

Jim Williams is a bit of a gamble because he could face Peter Wright in the second round, but I think he could beat Wright and have a deep run. I fancy Luke Littler to beat Christian Kist and have a really good debut.

Paul Nicholson

Mark Webster picks

I think Michael van Gerwen (my captain) wins it, and I think Gary Anderson goes deep. As for James Wade and Chris Dobey, I think they've got confidence coming into this and will be so dangerous in their halves of the draw.

Ryan Joyce and Luke Littler are under the radar, especially Ryan as he's played well this year and nobody is tipping the former quarter-finalist to do well.

David Cameron and Niels Zonneveld are nasty first round draws and I believe they both win their first games.

Chris Murphy

Chris Murphy picks

Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries I think are destined to meet in the semi-finals, and I'm expecting both to get off to good starts.

Jonny Clayton I think could have a really good run in this tournament and will also get off to a good start. I also can't see Ryan Searle being beaten in round two.

I've captained Jim Williams because I think he has a very good first round draw and the potential to take the scalp of Peter Wright in round two.
