    cf definition of useful below Gomes has 13 starts and 15 appearances despite missing 17 fixtures Sidibe has 17 starts and 22 appearances Whether either is a "best fit" for the Everton squad you want to see is beside the point.

    Gomes, Delph, Gbamin Good, Bad, Ugly If Iwobi is a midfielder then he gets a pass since he's not played there yet, he's a wide player (and he's also not been any good yet)
