2017/18 Season Everton lineup / formations

[BNJ1878]

Pretty sure we'll see 4-3-3 as our default set up, that seems to be the players we're going for.

Proper Dutch.

 

[Hantakun]

Pickford
Kenny Williams Keane Baines
Schneiderlin
Davies Klaassen Barkley/Sigurdsson
Sandro Rooney

 

[ijjysmith]

Pickford
Kenny Keane Williams Baines
Schneiderlid Gana
Klaasen
Beckham Ramirez Pienaar

 

[Ascro]

I think he'll go 5-3-2 using wing backs. One holding midfielder, two more orthodox midfielders.

Centre back three of Williams and Keane and Jags/Holgate/Mori/newbie.

Baines and Coleman will get far more attacking freedom I think, which is great considering they are both goalscoring defenders. Schneiderlin as the defensive midfielder, with Davies and Klaassen.

Up front we'll see your target man Giroud type, playing alongside Rooney or Sandro.

 

[Muggins]

Koeman has said quite a few times that he prefers to play with 3 strikers.

Now what exactly that means I don't know.

 

[McBain]

Franny Ford Coppola
Georgie Lucas - Petey 'PJ' Jackson - Alfie Hitchcock - Roamin' Roman Polanski
Terry Malick - QBall Tarantino - Ridley 'Snot em' Scott - Bobby Zemekis
Stevie Spielberg - Jimmy Cameron

 

[BigBlueConk]

I want to win the Europa Cup so we need another quality defender or two. Thanks Ron.

These line ups look sexy, but the new signings havent proved they are better until they kick a ball for Everton.
Our best prospect is called Tom and he was already here
COYB!

Pickford

Kenny - Keane - Williams - New LB

Gueye - Klaassen - Schneiderlin

Gylfi - Giroud - Sandro

Rest of squad: Stek, Jags, Holgate, Baines, McCarthy, Besic, Davies, Rooney, Barkley, Mirallas, Lookman, Tarashaj, DCL. Coleman and Bolasie to return from injury

 

[Whitty]

Seeing way to many mirrales names in these line ups. Not good enough to fill the bench of a top four team.

Mirallas will have a much better season now Lukaku isn't there. Lukaku doesn't hold the ball well enough and doesn't play others in. Fantastic goalscorer but not a team player. I think Mirallas will surprise a few this season if he gets the opportunities

 

[Tree13]

If our next game was this coming weekend, I'd go 4132:

Ramirez - Rooney

Mirallas - Klaassen - Barkley

Schneiderlin

Baines - Keane - Williams - Kenny

Pickford

​

Or 433:

Mirallas - Rooney - Ramirez

Gana - Klaassen - Schneiderlin

Baines - Keane - Williams - Kenny

Pickford
​

 

[JakeCOYB]

Pickford
Kenny Williams Keane Baines
Schneiderlin Gueye
Klassen Rooney Sigurdsson
Sandro

 

[Thomasc]

As if Mirallas will be first choice!

 

[Abraders]

Pickford
Holgate Williams Keane Baines
Gana
Schneiderlin Klaassen
Barkley Sandro Rooney

 

[Tez]

I think we'll play 4-3-2-1. The flexible 4-3-3 but with the two playing behind the main striker with full backs for width.

There'll be a settled core of 5 or 6 players such as Pickford, Schneiderlin, Baines, the centre backs and Rooney then the rest will depend on the game.

Davies, Gana and Klaassen will mix about with each playing about 20-25 games at least. Sandro will play either up front or in the two behind depending on who else comes in. If Sigurdsson signs then he may play in the front three, alongside or instead of Rooney or even drop back into the middle three for some specific types of game.

It's going to be a squad game as we'll have genuine options by the look of it. All great mordern teams worked like that. Very rarely do settled 11's win things. If they do it's because they massively luck-out with injuries like Leicester when they won the league. That's a freak occurance though.

4-3-3
