James Tarkowski - Continues as regular starter Tarkowski has started in all 21 matches this season for Everton, notching 30 tackles, 36 interceptions and 90 clearances. Impact Tarkowski is holding a firm grip on a starting spot in the middle of the defense for the second season in a row with the Toffees, appearing in all 21 contests after starting in all 38 of the club's matches last year. He once again has two goal contributions on the season, scoring once on 15 shots and assisting once on 12 chances created, matching his tallies from the previous season. he continues to be one of Everton's most crucial players, and he shouldn't fall out of his spot unless he faces an injury issue, as he will be a key piece in keeping the club out of the relegation zone, especially pending another point deduction due to the recent allegations of breaching the FA rules.
