                4 games this season.
                He started 2
                Missed 1 due to injury (was warming up to start again)
                Came back today after injury

                  No space in midfield after Enzo arrived.. Gvardiol better at LB. So clearly not nailed

                He is definitely not nailed. It may turn out he is preferred, but he is certainly not nailed with Enzo in the CM a Maresca favourite and Gvardiol better than him at LB. Starting 2 out of 3 would be his peak this year but I suspect it will be more like 1 out of 3.

                    That's very defensive which they dont need for 90% of games in the league. Can see that maybe in champions league latter rounds.

                      How is that very defensive?

                      Enzo is more than capable to be playing as attacking central midfielder- that’s how he played under Maresca at Chelsea.

                      O Riley in his starts this season was taking up position as second striker.

                Maitland-Niles is 4.5 and Everton have Ipswich, Hull, Coventry, and Brentford in their next 7.

                  If you want an everton defender find the money for Tark. Maitland Niles won't score again all season. Even with those fixtures youre still not going to play him when you have 2 arsenal and 1 city.

                  MGW vs Mbuemo personal preference. But not Szobo.

                    @The Tinman - Appreciated. Could do MGW + AMN > Mbeumo + Egan.

                    Also curious about the keepers - could switch Verbruggen back to a 4.0 and just have Kinsky as my starting keeper. Or switch him to Tzolakis. Spurs/Brighton do not rotate well, Spurs/Hull do.

    Some horrible officiating today. How VAR have looked at that and decided Enzo throwing himself towards the ball wasn’t playing the ball is baffling
