No fewer than 31 players turned out for Everton during their 41 Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches throughout the 2022/23 season – a reduction on the 36 used in the previous campaign – but just how did they all fare over the campaign in the ECHO’s player ratings?
Whether it was Adam Jones, Chris Beesley, Connor O’Neill or Joe Thomas, the ECHO had a reporter at all of the Blues' fixtures, marking each player out of 10 for their display and after extensive calculations, totting up all their scores, the final results make illuminating reading as always. Despite the troubled nature of the season as Everton required a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on the final day to avoid a first relegation in 72 years after what was the lowest equivalent points total in the club’s 135-year history in the Football League/Premier League, there were still a couple of perfect 10s dished out – both in the final month of the campaign.
Dwight McNeil earned one for his sensational display in the 5-1 thrashing of Brighton & Hove Albion where he grabbed two goals and an assist while Abdoulaye Doucoure also received the honour after his spectacular winner against the Cherries to secure survival. In contrast, Ben Godfrey was given a mark of just 2 after he was torn apart in the right-back position in the 4-1 home defeat to Newcastle United on a night when four of his team-mates were given scores of 3.
