I want to organize a Fifa and darts tournament with 5 players.
Everyone plays against everyone on both games 
And every Round we have 1 person who has no game. (Because of the odd number of players)
So we have 2 games and 5 players 
I cant seem to figure this out..

I think you can use the standard round robin twice and just swap around the games associated with each column.  For example:

Rounds 1-5
 Fifa  Darts
(1 4) (2 3)
(3 5) (1 2)
(2 4) (1 5)
(1 3) (4 5)
(2 5) (3 4)

Rounds 6-10
Darts  Fifa
(1 4) (2 3)
(3 5) (1 2)
(2 4) (1 5)
(1 3) (4 5)
(2 5) (3 4)
