Why has Everton’s attack been so underwhelming so far this season?

4,129 Comments

Everton’s popular attacking assets have underwhelmed Fantasy Premier League managers so far this season.

After two matches, they have scored just once, only Crystal Palace finding the net fewer times than the Toffees at this stage.

Perhaps we should not be too surprised to see Marco Silva’s men struggle in front of goal at this stage.

During their pre-season campaign, they scored just three goals in seven matches, with Richarlison (£8.0m) the only key figure missing for most of it.

One was registered against Kenyan side Kariobangi Sharks, while Monaco and Mainz were the only other teams to concede against Everton.

The Toffees drew blanks in four of their summer friendlies, against FC Sion, Wigan Athletic, Sevilla and Werder Bremen.

Of those who found the back of the net, Joe Williams and Lewis Gibson are not first-team regulars, the former now a permanent Wigan player, while Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) is the only summer goal-scorer to have played in either Premier League match so far this season.

Accordingly, ahead of a Gameweek 3 trip to Aston Villa, Fantasy managers might be looking to move on their Everton attackers.

We have assessed the underlying statistics from their first two matches of the campaign to find out if the Toffees have simply been unlucky not to score more often, or if there are some tangible reasons for concern.

          Not really no. They are still vying for starts. I'm talking the 4.0ms who you're happy to bench every week that could occasionally come in to save a week with random injuries/rotation.

      A. Nice fixture and prefer martial to Rashford. Can easy downgrade Kane if not working to get in Son, Pepe or KDB. Looks good. Not too sold on Mount myself, prefer Trossard or even Mcginn and money itb

        Cheers for input, I thought about Mcginn but I also have Wesley, gonna give him another game and hope for the best. Hopefully he can release his inner Benteke
