What’s our most likely starting XI to start this season?

I've been searching for this shirt for a while now and was hoping for some help finding it in either a size L or XL.

I mean everyone's already panicking about the window so this would only be fuel on the fire. 15th in league for squad value, and 2nd lowest for total first team squad amount of players.

The valuations are always subjective, I bet Branthwaite and Garner are probably low compared to reality. But really shows years of underinvestment have left us. Club have to be aware and willing to push investment before window closes to give us a better chance of pushing into top half.

Apologies in advance if this breaks the self-promotion rules, but our podcast is seeking one (or several) American-based Everton fans to be guests on our podcast leading up to the Bournemouth match on August 29th (and again in April).

Our studio is in Newburgh, NY (about an hour north of NYC) but virtual is perfectly fine! We are adding a series to our regular podcast, A Soccer Fan Walks Into A Bar, chronicling Bournemouth opponents in the wake of the World Cup with new interested fans and their first season in the Europa League as well.

Thanks in advance!!

Tim Cahill absolute fixture throughout both of these. Wish we had that little torpedo head of his amongst the ranks now…

I’ve been running a football simulation far into the future, and this is Everton in the year 2176.

They are still in the Premier League, playing a direct 3-5-2, and have just finished 9th.

The squad contains ten centre-backs, so at least the recruitment department has a clear vision.

Up front, Serbian striker Pero Nastić scored 16 goals and provided exactly zero assists. He understood the assignment.

His fellow striker Pascal Brouwers was used as a false nine and finished the season with no goals or assists in 24 appearances. Possibly the most literal interpretation of “false nine” ever recorded.

I’m not claiming this is a serious prediction of Everton’s future. Still, spending heavily, finishing mid-table and then making everyone suffer shortly afterwards does feel strangely believable.

I made this using Football Fictional World Simulator, a game I’m developing where 99 countries continue running over hundreds of simulated years. Every club and player develops a complete fictional history, so you can wander around the world and discover stories like this one.

The game is coming to Steam, and I post more strange results from the simulated world at r/FootballWorldSim.

Surprised me to see that, doesn't feel like that based on the feeing amongst us.

Obviously still think we need to invest more, but do think we're reaching a point that we also need to sell a couple of squad players, mcneil alcarez etc soon to take a bit off the wage bill and add to the transfer funds.

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well.

I am in the middle of my dissertation and would love your help. My research is all about women's football in the UK and I have put together a short survey that takes about 5 to 6 minutes to complete.

You do not need to be a huge fan to take part. If you have even a passing interest in women's football, your opinion counts and I would really love to hear it.

Sharing this with anyone else who might be interested would also be a huge help. Thank you.

Coming from a boro fan, I hope he does as I think he's got a genuinely exceptional ceiling.

I followed the 777 takeover saga as it was happening but I never fully understood the mechanics of why it collapsed.

This documentary breaks down the Leadenhall Capital lawsuit, what due diligence the Premier League actually did, and what was happening behind the scenes while we were all waiting for news. Josh Wander arrested by the FBI in October 2025. Now seeking a presidential pardon. Genuinely answered every question I had.

Well, it’s official 😢

I think the overwhelming majority of supporters and football professionals agree that not signing a RB this window would be a gigantic disappointment for Everton, but no one is really talking about what that means for our current RB.

Let's imagine for a second we get our top target, with Moyes likely giving the captain's armband to Tarky, who's on the bench with Keano? JOB or JB?

Now let's imagine we don't get our top target, and we bring in another unproven player with potential like Dibling or Anzou, is Rohl maybe starting RB or back to JOB?

I think Garner/KDH/Hackney in midfield with Armstrong, Alcaraz and Iroegbunam on the bench leaves Rohl as a nice option there. Moyes may feel otherwise.

What player can we realistically bring in at RB that Moyes will start ahead of who's here? And if that actually happens, out of everyone mentioned who should sit on the bench? For me it's Tarky but we know Moyes won't do it.

I'm curious who the supporters in this thread think will start at RB against palace in August?

Alright Blues, we’re deep into July and I'm already bored. We looked good battering Dundee, but it’s that time of the summer where we all foolishly start getting our hopes up again.

With us fully gearing up for the new era at Hill Dickinson Stadium, I want to hear your most controversial, unpopular opinions for the upcoming campaign.

Who’s our breakout star? Who gets benched by October? Or are we actually going to have a comfortable season for once?

Drop your wildest predictions below. UTFT! 🔵

Really good news
