Introduction
Welcome to my 2019 Unibet Premier League Darts finals night stats guide. This preview looks at all the key statistics for the final 4 players: James Wade, Rob Cross, Michael Van Gerwen and Daryl Gurney. It examines the standard statistics such as tournament averages, doubles percentage and 180’s but also goes into much greater detail. It looks at the week by week record of the players, head to heads and drills down into various statistical area’s from the players scoring power right through to finishing data over the course of the first sixteen matches of this years event. This data has been collated by myself from watching every match and recording every dart thrown in my database. I have double checked the data for accuracy after each week by comparing statistics with those displayed on both Sky Sports and live.dartsdata.com
