The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Everton

Our series of members’ articles, which review the numbers behind the 2015/16 season, continues this evening with an assessment of Everton.

To get underway, we cast an eye over the Toffees’ team data, comparing them to the rest of the top-flight, before analysing their first-team squad, key goal threats and creative sources in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for the season ahead.


The Merseysiders will, of course, have a new man in charge after Ronald Koeman replaced Roberto Martinez in the hotseat. Everton finished in eleventh spot in each of the Spaniard’s final two campaigns at the helm, accruing 47 points on both occasions, though a drop in resilience saw them concede 55 times in 2015/16 – a defensive record only better than the bottom five.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    WE WANT FPL RIGHT NOW...

    Permalink/Hot topic this and get lucky and finish next FPL season with under 100 rank.

    Ignore this and your Aguero (C) will change automatically to Coquelin (C) and your overall rank will shoot in 6 digit...

      What if 101 people Permalink this, how will they all finish under 100 rank?

    Jurgen Klopp has told Mario Balotelli that with so much competition for places up front at Liverpool he should look for another club.

    "I have spoken to him about this," said the Reds boss. "He's not at the stage of his career where he should be battling with four or five other players for one or two positions... so it's clear we need a solution.
    "There will be a club around who would be happy to have the new Mario Balotelli. I have spoken clearly to the player about that."

    The "New" Balotelli? Will any club sign him?

    Despite their being no FPL its been a great summer so far

    - Andy Murray winning Wimbledon
    - Warburton signing a new deal at Rangers
    - Iceland humiliating England
    - Wales reaching the Euro semi finals
    - Portugal winning the Euros
    - Seeing Rammstien live again
    - Lincoln Red Imps embarrassing Celtic

    Ahhhh, life is good 🙂

      - Not having to watch Scotland at the Euros

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Given Celtic's performance last night it will be about another 100 years before Scotland qualify for anything

          Thankfully not all of our national squad was playing last night.

          All they've got left is to hope England lose. Bit sad really.

            7 years, 11 months ago

            😆 I'm going to bite and say we just missing out on qualifying due to Germany not doing us any favours. All three teams which qualified from our group made it to the knock out stages of the competition.

            1. A.T
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              It was quite an achievement not qualifying for the easiest to qualify tournament in the history of the competition. 😀

                  Oh Iceland that drew with the European Champions.

                        ? I disagree with you.

                    and also conceded 5 goals against a team that couldn't even put 1 past a team that even England could beat.. 😉

    Are people genuinely excited to make a team, or do we all just want to try and get a single digit FPL ID?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Both!

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Is that a trick question? Of course single digit id

    3. Däzzy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Would love a single digit ID

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        FF Fix claim something like a 97% accuracy on prices, don't they?

        Interesting to see how that changes with newcomers to the league, though.

    5. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      ID is nothing

      Rank is everything

    6. Jøssy ⭐

      1. Prøphet
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Xhaka and Kante could have been their new Petit and Vieira!

      3. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Arsenal have now got like a double figures amount of centre mids. They wouldn't sign someone else
