Pickford - great goalkeeper, one of the best in the league
Tyrer - 23 year old back up goalie with 1 year left on his contract - no qualms if he is the backup keeper or third choice keeper but he appears to lack the experience that the likes of Begovic and Virginia had, in any event I don't expect him to play any games this season
Patterson - injury prone and hasn't really shown much since he signed - would prefer to sell him
Keane - will provide adequate cover and experience at centre back for any injuries / suspensions - I am not expecting him to play much this season anyway
Tarkowski - solid and experienced centre half - should start every game
O'Brien - great player who can cover both centre half and right back positions, currently third choice centre back behind tarkowski and branthwaite, will hopefully form a great partnership with branthwaite in the future
Mykolenko - good defensively and ok going forward - a decent squad player and not much more else
Coleman - injury prone and barely plays
Branthwaite - future everton captain - should start every game
Alcaraz - great signing
Gueye - still a great midfielder and glad he signed a new contract
Garner - thought he was quite poor and inconsistent last season, he missed a lot of games through injury but he showed with that assist against Leicester that he has great vision at times, need to see him step up his game this season
Iroegbunam - has all the attributes to be a top midfielder but was very injury prone last season
Armstrong - very young and raw, probably needs another season out on loan to get some experience
McNeil - decent squad player, can still conjure up some magic with that left wand of a leg and has great vision at times
Ndiaye - baller who is exciting to watch, should start every game
Beto - improved a lot last season and showed his worth
Chermiti - he is young with potential but very injury prone and needs to maybe go on loan and get some experience
