And once the table is finalised after next week's action, we'll have a clearer picture of how much certain players can. will earn overall.

Before we look at the play-off permutations, it's worth noting how players are separated in the league table.
If players are level on points, the separation criteria is as follows:
Legs won against throw
As mentioned,Littlerhas already clinched top spot, andClaytonis guaranteed to finish second.
Priceneeds to better or match Humphries' points total next week to finish third. avoid playing table-topper Littler in the semis on finals night.
Humphrieswill finish third -. set-up a semi-final meeting with Clayton on finals night - if he gains more points than Price next week.
If they both exit at the same stage then Price will finish third thanks to his two night wins.
In the bottom half,Van Gerwenwill finish fifth if he betters or matches the number of points earned by Van Veen next week. providing he wins at least his quarter-final, or if Bunting fails to win the night.
Van Veenwill rise above Van Gerwen into fifth if he collects more points than his fellow Dutchman in Sheffield.
Should both Dutch players lose their quarter-finals next week, the door would be open forBuntingto sneak above both players,. he would need to win the night.
Rockneeds to win night 16 in Sheffield. hope Bunting fails to collect any points if he is to finish seventh. Any other scenario will ensure the Northern Irishman ends his debut Premier League campaign in last place.
