<h2>How Everton performed in the 2021/22 Premier League season:</h2>
<p>With former Chelsea skipper Frank Lampard at the helm, Everton&#8217;s 2021/22 season didn&#8217;t exactly go to plan.</p>
<p>The Toffees failed to reach the 40 point mark, finishing the season on 39, and avoiding relegation by a narrow 4 point margin.</p>
<p>They won just 2 away matches all season, but their form at Goodison Park, plus some impressive performances from the now departed <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/richarlison-fpl-sky-tff-and-dream-team-prospects/">Richarlison</a> just about kept them in the Premier League.</p>
<p>Injuries played their part, with usual top scorer Calvert-Lewin only starting 15 Premier League games. Defenders Holgate and Godfrey also missed crucial spells of the season.</p>
<p>Regardless, a few injured players were far from the sole issue, and Lampard may have to reconsider his approach to turn his side&#8217;s fortunes around.</p>
<p>One positive amongst all of this was the form of Summer signing Demarai Gray. The former Leicester winger provided plenty of attacking returns in the early weeks of the season, and became a valuable FPL asset at £5.5m.</p>
<p>The 2022/23 season will certainly put Lampard&#8217;s credentials to the test &#8211; if he doesn&#8217;t start strongly, he could be one of the first managers on the chopping block.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The best Everton FPL players: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m)</h2>
<p>Whilst Everton&#8217;s gaggle of £5.5m midfielders (<strong>Gray, Gordon, Iwobi, Townsend, Doucoure </strong>and<strong> Dele Alli</strong>) are all vying for minutes and goal contributions, there is a clear first-choice striker at Goodison Park.</p>
<p>That striker is <strong>Dominic Calvert-Lewin</strong>, and when fit, he&#8217;s the first name on the team sheet, with the ageing <strong>Salomon</strong> <strong>Rondon (£5.0m) </strong>the only backup in this position.</p>
<p>Following the departure of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/richarlison-fpl-sky-tff-and-dream-team-prospects/">Richarlison</a>, Calvert-Lewin truly takes on the role of Everton&#8217;s talismanic forward, and most likely takes over penalty duties too.</p>
<p>That should help the England man to add to his already impressive Premier League tally of 45 goals and 11 assists.</p>
<p>Not to mention, Everton&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1658401893881000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29ALe1opDoY_MDnRY1K7b_"><strong>fixtures</strong></a> are pretty good, once you get past Chelsea in Gameweek 1.</p>
<p>The Toffees face Villa, Forest, Brentford and Leeds from Gameweek 2 to Gameweek 5, fixtures which should certainly provide opportunities for Everton&#8217;s number 9.</p>
<p>There is of course a catch &#8211; and it is, unsurprisingly, his £8.0m price tag.</p>
<p>£8.0m can buy you Arsenal man <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/gabriel-jesus-fpl-sky-tff-and-dream-team-prospects-as-arsenal-player/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/gabriel-jesus-fpl-sky-tff-and-dream-team-prospects-as-arsenal-player/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1658401893881000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3YVc_knpzJ8Be7LxUxAwAt">Gabriel Jesus,</a> or midfielders from top sides, such as Diaz, Saka, Foden and Mount.</p>
<p>To instead opt for an attacker from a team who narrowly avoided relegation, for the same price, may not be the most tactically astute decision.</p>
<p>But there are only so many 90 minute strikers who take penalties &#8211; and if you believe that Lampard can turn Everton&#8217;s fortunes around, then Calvert-Lewin could be an interesting differential.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The best Everton FPL players: Nathan Patterson (£4.0m)</h2>
<p>At just 20 years old, former Rangers right-back <strong>Nathan Patterson</strong> already has 10 senior appearances for Scotland.</p>
<p>This includes a man-of-the-match display against Moldova, during which he picked up a goal and assist in a 2-0 win to send his country to the World Cup playoffs.</p>
<p>Patterson possesses plenty of speed and attacking quality, and this dynamism is perhaps what persuaded Lampard to make a move for the youngster.</p>
<p>The Scotsman was brought to Everton with a view to replacing 33-year-old <strong>Seamus Coleman (£4.5m)</strong> who looks short on pace, and is beginning to show his age in terms of meeting the physical demands of the Premier League.</p>
<p>In addition, Coleman has picked up an injury, and looks set to miss the start of the season, which should present a nailed-on opportunity for Patterson to start Gameweek 1.</p>
<p>The view from the Everton fans is that this spot is now Patterson&#8217;s to lose &#8211; if he shows good form in the early weeks of the season, then he should displace Coleman from the team on a permanent basis.</p>
<p>With Lampard likely to continue the tactic of pushing his wing-backs forward, there could be plenty of assists up for grabs with the clinical Calvert-Lewin waiting in the penalty area.</p>
<p>Even without attacking returns, at £4.0m Patterson looks an absolute snip. If he can add goals and assists as a starter, he could be one of the FPL bargains of the season.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>The best Everton FPL players: Jordan Pickford (£4.5m)</h2>
<p><strong>Jordan Pickford</strong> was Everton&#8217;s top FPL point scorer in the 2021/22 season, keeping seven clean sheets despite the Toffees&#8217; ongoing relegation battle.</p>
<p>Currently, there are no starting £4.0m keepers in the game, and that tends to be the case most seasons.</p>
<p>This means at just £4.5m, you are paying the lowest possible price for a starting goalkeeper.</p>
<p>In opting for Pickford at this price, you are selecting an established international goalkeeper with bags of Premier League experience, who is capable of huge FPL hauls through the number of saves that he makes. Not bad for a budget option.</p>
<p>Perhaps this lower price is the fair result of a terrible Everton season, but you would be surprised to see the Toffees in the relegation zone again this year, given the financial backing behind the club.</p>
<p>It would be difficult for Lampard&#8217;s men to have a season as bad as their last, and it seems extremely likely that Pickford will score higher this time around.</p>
<p>The England stopper has been a highly consistent fantasy asset over the years, scoring 100+ FPL points in each of the last six seasons. In his best season (2018/19) he kept an impressive 14 clean sheets and scored 161 points, so we know the potential is there.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can grab Everton&#8217;s backup keeper <strong>Asmir Begovic </strong>for just £4.0m, keeping you covered in case of an injury or suspension to Pickford.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s reasonably unlikely you&#8217;re going to want two Everton outfield players in addition to their keepers, so doubling up here is probably a safe bet.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>The best Everton FPL players: <strong>Honourable mentions</strong></h2>
<p>Young Ukranian left-back <strong>Vitaly Mykolenko (£4.5m) </strong>showed real attacking promise towards the end of last season, delivering a goal and assist in his first few months as a Premier League player. He will cost you an additional £0.5m over Nathan Patterson however, offering a slightly more nailed and experienced option for the higher price.</p>
<p>Meanwhile if<strong> Demarai Gray (£5.5m) </strong>can pick up where he left off last season, he could be one of the most explosive midfielders in his price bracket, but will certainly face competition for minutes playing on the wing at Everton.</p>
