PDC Stats Analyst Christopher Kempf assesses the sport's top ten stars - based on their last 200 legs played - ahead of the 2026 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts.

#1 Averages - Luke Humphries
#1 OChE - Luke Humphries
#1 Doubles - Sebastian Bialecki
#1 171-180 - Luke Littler
#1 99, 101+ Checkout - Gerwyn Price

It was a banner weekend for Luke Humphries - with nothing at stake but a few thousand pounds to a player who has already earned millions from darts and with his Players Championship Finals qualification secured, Humphries reached back-to-back finals and reclaimed the undisputed Form Guide #1 position.

'Cool Hand Luke' continues to be the only player sustaining a 100 average over his last 200 legs, and now does so with even greater efficiency than he did in October, thanks to a 65.5 OChE rating.

Luke Littler did not contest these last two floor events of 2026, but victories over Gerwyn Price, Gary Anderson and Niels Zonneveld - all top-16 players on recent form - clearly indicates that Humphries is making the most of the pre-Grand Slam practice.

Michael van Gerwen has recovered some form in the final two Players Championship events of the year. A semi-final and quarter-final finish in two outings in Leicester is certainly encouraging, given that he has only won a single ProTour title this year, but the days in which MvG was the presumed favourite in every tournament he entered are gone.

Van Gerwen's 95.38 average places him 17th in the PDC, but after defeating three Dutch rivals this past weekend, including a 114-average whitewash of Danny Noppert, the three-time World Champion is now expected to win 56% of his legs against Pro Tour rivals, a 5.7% increase - one of the largest in the PDC over the past week.

But with only 53 maximums to his name over his last 200 legs, MvG's scoring power does not yet exist to challenge the Lukes at the top of the form guide.

The only player to notch a win against Luke Humphries on the weekend was Players Championship 34 winner Tommy Morris, who will now appear at the upcoming Grand Slam of Darts in addition to the Minehead berth which he had already earned.

On the basis of recent form, he will be a challenge for any player, including his Group C rivals Josh Rock and Kevin Doets.

Morris wins an astonishing 88% of his legs in 18 darts or fewer, and 98% by the end of his 7th visit - these are figures which only a select elite can currently match, and Morris does not yet hold a Tour Card. The only player winning more legs in 18 darts or less, in fact, is Humphries - the man Morris beat to claim the PC34 title. 

The last player into the Players Championship Finals, Henry Coates, may hold the provisional 64th seed and no Tour Card, but as a Players Championship winner he has already proven that he will be a formidable threat to Wessel Nijman in his first match of the tournament.

Coates' performances have been so strong of late that were he included in the Form Guide, he would rank 5th in OChE (58.98) and 8th in averages (97.55), ahead of PDC luminaries Gary Anderson, Rob Cross - and Wessel Nijman himself!
