Best Everton picks from 2021/22
Everton had a difficult season in the Premier League. However, their win in Gameweek 37 was enough to guarantee their Premier League survival for the 2022/23 season. We take a look at who the best FPL picks from Everton were this season.

Overall
It was a tough season for choosing Everton players in FPL. Injuries to key players such as Calvert-Lewin meant that there were less options to choose from from the Toffee’s. Richarlison, Gordon and Townsend all registered three double digit hauls this season, a team leading number. At just £4.7m when the season ended Gordon was a great budget enabler for FPL managers. He is someone that alongside the likes of Richarlison and Calver-Lewin managers should key on their watchlist for 22/23.
