Predicted Season Finish: 7th
Being a team full of internationals, Everton managed to turn around a dismal start last season. The quality is always there, but Moyes will have to work harder to make sure that his team is consistent throughout the season. If he succeeds, then it is highly probable that they can tackle Tottenham out of top six.
Fantasy Ace: Leighton Baines (£8.0m)
Delivered 7, 9 and 11 assists over the past three seasons, Baines has firmly made his name at Goodison Park. Being one of the best left-footer of the league, Baines just never disappoint us with his crosses and set pieces.
Of course, you will have to pray that Arteta continues to be fragile or is going to be sold - in that way Baines will have no doubt to take all the dead balls.
Decent Picks: Tim Cahill (£9.0m), Sylvain Distin (£5.5m), Phil Jagielka (£5.5m)
Cahill has a consistent goal record over the last few years. Definitely a reliable attacking man for you.
Joining from Portsmouth, Distin has been solid in the back line for the Toffees. He's not as good as the time when Lescott was there, but nevertheless he's decent.
Being wanted by Arsenal, Jagielka's skills and leadership in defending should not be doubted. He has a slump over the last two years, but I expect him to recover.
Worth Scouting: Mikel Arteta (£8.0m)
Arteta is unstoppable when he's fit. Unfortunately, injury is consistently disrupting the form of the Spaniard.
No Thanks: Seamus Coleman (£7.0m)
Reclassified as a midfielder, Coleman lost the ability to claim 4 clean sheet points. He will need to play more games and perform better to match his asking price - which I highly doubt will happen.
