It's hard to tell sometimes, there are some on here who seem to genuinely believe those things

So Chico and six others fancy us to win the league, eh?

I clicked 13th -15th out of some weird hope we will win the odd game at home and we will bring in 3-4 players but I am seeing a long battle for survival right now

The crap play in pre-season is probably a positive. It eliminates any delusions that last season was a fluke while there is still time to spend money. Bonus if the fear of getting relegated causes the team to be sold out of fear of relegation destroying the value of the franchise.

Between 17th and 13th for me. Wrong signings and we are closer to relegation. Right recruitment and we can scrape a top of the bottom half type finish.

Just changed mine to bottom three based on how things stand at the moment. This is just a very, very poor squad weakened by selling our best player and, as much as I like him as a person, they are led by a pretty limited manager. Throw those maniacs on the board into the mix and I’m struggling to see much light ahead. We had about a quarter of our points for the whole season after about four games last year. Hard to see this lot getting off to a flyer.

bookies have us at5/1(16% chance) of going down:
They did have to battle injuries with the most absences and the most total days missed (as outlined in the below tweet) but it's a squad that just doesn't have enough quality throughout to be truly competitive.
Years of poor spending have led to this position and there are limits to what they will be able to do in this transfer market. James Tarkowski has come in on a free transfer but that's about it for a quiet window so far.
It's been all about the outgoings. Most notably, Richarlison has left to join Tottenham in a £60m deal and we're not sure how much of that can or will be reinvested in the squad.
It leaves them without a key forward heading into the new campaign - placing further emphasis on Dominic Calvert-Lewin to deliver - while interest remains in winger Anthony Gordon, who has enjoyed far more involvement since Frank Lampard was appointed.
The midfield is the standout area for Everton, although for the wrong reasons. It lacks quality and depth and needs serious boosting if they are to clear themselves of the bottom-three again in 22/23.
Lampard did a decent enough job in the almost half-season he was there - particularly with a Burnley resurgence that suddenly made the race to avoid relegation interesting again.
However, questions remain about his coaching ability and he doesn't have the squad or finances available to build this team to where it needs to be.
Infogol has the Toffees at 19.2% (4.2/1) for relegation this season, meaning that the 5/1 (16.7%) available is a value bet based on the underlying numbers and predictions.
With much required in the midfield and attacking areas, it should be another season of struggle for a side who are Premier League regulars.
Tough for the Toffees?
Everton did manage to survive last season but there are still a lot of questions surrounding the Toffees as they aim to avoid another relegation scrap.They did have to battle injuries with the most absences and the most total days missed (as outlined in the below tweet) but it's a squad that just doesn't have enough quality throughout to be truly competitive.

I think we will be 10th.
Think we will be stronger at the back than last year, Gordon will continue to progress, and Dele and DCL will have more of an impact. Plus we will add a few more before end of August.
Forget pre-season games, mean nothing. Real stuff starts vs Chelsea
