Throughout Everton’s 45 matches in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup during the 2023/24 season, a total of 28 players were utilized. This is a reduction from the 31 players used in the previous campaign and 36 the year before that. The Liverpool ECHO’s player ratings offer an insightful look at how these players performed.
Reporters Chris Beesley and Connor O’Neill attended all of the Blues’ fixtures, rating each player’s performance out of 10. After extensive calculations and totting up all the scores, the final results reveal some illuminating insights.
James Tarkowski was ever-present, playing in all 45 games, while Jordan Pickford featured in every Premier League and Carabao Cup match. Conversely, Lewis Warrington, Tyler Onyango, and Tom Cannon – the latter now sold to Leicester City – each appeared only once and didn’t play long enough to receive a rating.
Also on the list are two other players who departed on transfer deadline day last summer: Alex Iwobi, who joined Fulham, and Neal Maupay, who was loaned out to Brentford. There were notably three perfect 10s awarded during Everton’s first Merseyside Derby win at Goodison Park in over 13 years. These scores went to goalscorers Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as well as Pickford. However, Pickford also received a low mark of 2 for his performance in a 6-0 defeat at Chelsea, where he was blamed for gifting the London team their third goal.
Here’s the complete rundown of the 28 squad members used by Everton this season, listed in reverse order based on their average scores from the ECHO’s player ratings. This evaluation provides a comprehensive overview of each player’s performance throughout the season, offering fans a detailed understanding of how each member contributed to the team’s efforts across all competitions. And rest assured, the Premier League won’t be deducting points here!
