将数组数据从ViewController传递到TableView

Question

I couldn't find this specific case where i have to pass and append two or more arrays of string into a TableView located in 2nd ViewController. I want to push two different strings inside two different UILabels

I have some data that gets inside through a UIAlertViewController in mainViewController

var name = alertController.textFields?[0].text
var number = alertController.textFields?[1].text

Then i take this data and every time i get new set of name/number i append it to arrays of string in MainVC

var playerNames = [String]()
var playerNumbers = [String]()
self.playerNames.append(name!)
self.playerNumbers.append(number!)

now i created a table view and a custom cell with .xib and i'd call it and set to custom labels like this

TableView in Second ViewController

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> 
UITableViewCell {

customCell.tableViewCellNumber.text = mainVC.playerNumbers[indexPath.row]
customCell.tableViewCellName.text = mainVC.playerNames[indexPath.row]
return customCell
}

So for every new set it makes a new row with name + number

I tried anything from userDefaults to performForSegue but it doesnt work! I can print the arrays just fine, but it wont show me new rows at all.

EDIT: actual question

Ok I guess I misunderstood the use of NsUserDefaults... at the moment i have in viewDidLoad of my 2nd controller

if ((UserDefaults.standard.array(forKey: "playerNames")) != nil){
            let playerNames = (UserDefaults.standard.array(forKey: 
"playerNames") as? [String])!
            print(playerNames)
        }

    }

and its actually printing the new values, now i want the new appended value to show in the custom cell label.text cell.nameLabel.text = The Value how do i retrieve the value everytime and store it? if i try with playerNames, it says it doesnt exist..

Did you synchronize user defaults after inputting data? UserDefaults.synchronize()
