With everyone fit this would be my strongest line-up, on the bench with Saha, Jo, Fellaini, who could come on to change the game or add more fire power, then Nash, Neville, Yobo & Gosling as back-up should anyone need replace.

Then we have Vaughan, Anichebe, Hibbert & Osman who would be ready to step into the 18 man squad should anyone out injured or suspended.

I know Hibbert, Osman and Gosling are either not quite good enough or not experience enough, but I did consider we have a pretty decent squad and we should do well this season.

Although we could have done with these transfer completed in June rather than end of August, so the new player has the time to settle in.

I would perhaps switch Rodwell with Neville this coming season. But if Rodwell continue to develope like he does, then next season he replaces Neville easily.

Bench: Nash, Rodwell, Saha, Yobo, Fellaini, Osman, Vaughan

Yup, no Jo. I rate Yak and Saha over him and I'd prefer Vaughan as a third striker basically since he's younger and any experience he gets will benefit us in the future. Jo looks desperate to prove himself here and I don't like strikers that are that desperate since they want to do things themselves even though it might not be the best option. In the game against Wigan for example there were a few times when he could have passed the ball to better placed teammates and instead opted to shoot instead.

I know, Yobo plays at the right of defence, but didn't pay attention to it really, when submitting my team. My mistake.

No, to be honest, I think it has been a strange purchase by Moyes. All my mates, asked me why Everton did sign Heitinga, as he's not really rated over here in Holland. Not that he's totally crap, but he does have a fair few shortcomings. He's a very good passer, a strong header of the ball and physically strong. Don't think he's that strong defensively though and also not the best tackler. Haven't followed him since he was transferred to Atletico and hope he has become a more complete player during that time and I'm proven completely wrong in the end.

Raw potential mate?

With the change in personnel, I believe a change in formation is needed. Heitinga Jagielka Distin at the back, with Neville or Rodwell as holding midfielder, and take your pick in midfield giving cahill or fellaini more freedom to play of a front two not a lone striker at least at home anyway. Sort of a diamond like chelsea but with the extra man in midfield.
