PDC Fantasy Darts and PDC Predictor returns for the 2024 BoyleSports World Grand Prix, which gets underway in Leicester next week.
Popular amongst fans at the World Championship, Premier League and the World Matchplay, PDC Fantasy Darts returns as the official fantasy game of the World Grand Prix, which takes place from October 7-13 at the Mattioli Arena.
This year's game will see fans pick a starting squad of eight players, as the sport's biggest names battle it out for the coveted double-start title, which is currently held by Luke Humphries.
Fans will be able to select three 'favourites' for the title, two 'dark horses', two 'outsiders' and one 'long shot', so you will need to be shrewd with your selections and pick players you believe will get through to the latter stages.
You will have three transfers available throughout the tournament, and you must also choose a captain and vice captain to boost your score. Your captain will earn you 2x points, while your vice captain will earn you 1.5x points.
The overall PDC Fantasy Darts champion will receive two tickets to any night of the 2025 Premier League, while further prizes also include signed Peter Wright darts and a new Winmau Blade 6 Dartboard.
In addition to the existing general leagues, you can also create your own private leagues, allowing you to compete with friends and prove who has the best darting knowledge!

Transfer Explainer
Transfers can only be made from one player to another in that category. Eg: You can only replace a long shot with another long shot, or a favourite with another favourite.
If all players from that category have been eliminated from the tournament, then the squad size will be reduced for the final stages of the tournament.
The transfer windows will be open after the completion of the first round on Tuesday October 8, the completion of the second round on Thursday October 10 and following the conclusion of the quarter-finals on Friday October 11.
