Demarai Gray - Active playmaker, but no goals in win Gray registered four shots (one on-target), seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus AFC Bournemouth. He was injured and subbed out in the 87th...

Impact Gray did not have one of his stronger games on Sunday, but he played his part by harrying a lackluster Bournemouth opposition. It was a weak season for the striker, he has scored just four goals and created one assist from his 33 appearances (27 starts). His performance was gated by a poor Everton team overall, without fresh transfer window talent to provide the striker with service he will likely not improve much next season.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Strikes winner in critical survival match Doucoure scored, placed two shots-on-target, executed two crosses (none accurate) and created two chances in Sunday's 1-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Doucoure scored on Sunday to deliver the winning goal Everton needed to secure EPL football next season. The attacking midfielder is ending the season strongly, he has scored five and provided two assists in his last 10 matches.

Jordan Pickford - Chalks up eighth clean sheet Pickford had one save and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.

Impact Pickford did not have much to do on Sunday as his team took the game to a muted Bournemouth. He only faced two shots-on-target which he successfully saved and delivered his eighth clean sheet. It has been a difficult season for his team but he has been pivotal to ensuring their EPL survival into next season. If Everton make squad strengthening transfers in the summer Pickford could get back to delivering top statistics next season.

Tom Davies - Out for season finale Davies is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Davies misses out on Sunday's match despite not being named in the injury report in the buildup. Davies made 19 appearances, four starts, on the season and has an expiring contract in the summer.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Unable to return for Sunday Mykolenko is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Mykolenko misses out on Sunday's match as he was unable to recover from a thigh injury. Everton will deploy a back three set up utilizing James Garner and Dwight McNeal as wing-backs.

Tom Davies - Left off injury report Davies (hamstring) was not mentioned in manager Sean Dyche's injury updates ahead of Sunday's clash with Bournemouth.

Impact Davies was an unused substitute for four straight contests prior to his two-match absence, so even if he is deemed fit enough to play, he is unlikely to impact the starting XI. In fact, the midfielder has started just four matches this season in 19 total appearances, recording nine shots (two on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and 15 tackles. Davies' contract will expire this summer and given his inability to log significant minutes, could find himself departing on a free transfer.

Ben Godfrey - Ruled out versus Cherries Godfrey (groin) will not be able to play against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Godfrey will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to his groin problem. Injuries have limited the defender to just a mere 13 outings (10 starts) this season. In those limited opportunities, Godfrey generated one assist, seven crosses (one accurate) and 31 clearances. With the potential departure of Yerry Mina in the summer, Godfrey could be given a more prominent role in the back line, though he may still struggle for regular appearances.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Could return Sunday Mykolenko (thigh) may be available for Sunday's season finale clash with Bournemouth. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "He's a bit better so we will see how he reacts tomorrow to...

Impact Mykolenko has been out of action for the club's last two contests due to his thigh problem. Prior to his absence, the left-back made five straight starts in which he registered 18 clearances, 12 interceptions and nine crosses (zero accurate). Without Seamus Coleman (knee), Nathan Patterson (hamstring) or Ruben Vinagre (Achilles)aaa, the club could really use a wing-back to help bolster the backline.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Patterson - Out for finale Patterson (hamstring) will miss Sunday's finale against Bournemouth, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Patterson came off in the 29th minute last match and it's too quick of a turnaround for a muscle injury. He opened the campaign in good form and then injuries took him out of the equation, so much that Dyche eventually preferred Seamus Coleman late in the season. Still, Patterson is the right-back of the future for Everton after reaching 19 league appearances (14 starts) this past season.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Out against Bournemouth Calvert-Lewin (groin) will miss Sunday's finale against Bournemouth, according to manager Sean Dyche. "We realised when he got injured in the first game that it wasn't going to be...

Impact This was rumored to be the case for Calvert-Lewin, who simply can't stay healthy anymore. He was pushed probably a bit too much late in the season and that led to this new hamstring injury, likely forcing Neal Maupay into the XI again for Sunday's must-win spot. Calvert-Lewin's closes another disappointing campaign in which he totaled two goals and one assist from 17 league appearances (15 starts).

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Unlikely for finale Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) will be a doubt for Sunday's finale against Bournemouth, reports The Times.

Impact Sean Dyche will hopefully have more information on this at his press conference, but all signs point to Calvert-Lewin not being ready Sunday. He's gone 45 minutes each of the last two matches and he probably pushed his muscles a little too hard, resulting in something more significant. If that's the case, Neal Maupay and Demarai Gray would be the first options to enter the XI.

Nathan Patterson - Dealing with hamstring Patterson (hamstring) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Leicester due to a hamstring injury, The Liverpool Echo reports.

Impact Patterson's injury against Wolves was confirmed to be his hamstring, and seems likely to sideline him Sunday. The defender has been the top choice right-back when fit, but seems set to miss the crucial relegation decider. Michael Keane figures to shift to the right flank and fill in for Patterson.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Godfrey - Doubtful for finale Godfrey (groin) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Bournemouth, according to manager Sean Dyche, who described it as "tough and go at best."

Impact Godfrey suffered a groin injury and has missed four consecutive matches during the Premier League run-in. The defender has a chance to return in some capacity for the finale, especially in the midst of such a tight relegation battle.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Team option activated Doucoure's one-year team option has been picked up by the club, keeping him with the Toffees through 2024.

Impact Doucoure has been a mainstay in the starting XI since manager Sean Dyche took over, starting all 14 of his appearances for the club since the start of February. In those contests, the midfielder registered four goals on 15 shots (five on target), two assists and 20 chances created.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Conor Coady - Returning to eligibility Coady will be able to feature in next weekend's season finale against AFC Bournemouth after missing Saturday's draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Coady was not eligible to play against his parent club Wolves last weekend, but he will be available to return to the squad to take on Bournemouth next weekend. He's made just one Premier League appearance off the bench since February as James Tarkowski and one of Yerry Mina or Michael Keane have taken over as the preferred center-backs at Everton.

Demarai Gray - Takes three shots off bench Gray subbed into Saturday's match against Wolves just before halftime, taking three shots (one on target), creating two chances and winning two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Gray replaced an injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin (undisclosed) during stoppage time of the first half on Saturday, and he was active as his side came back in the second period to salvage a draw agains Wolves. His last Premier League start came almost a month ago against Crystal Palace on April 22 heading into next weekend's season finale.

Idrissa Gueye - Creates chance in draw Gueye took a shot and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gueye was solid in defensive midfield Saturday as his side earned an important point with a very late equalizer against Wolves.

Alex Iwobi - Takes four shots against Wolves Iwobi took four shots (two on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton. He also made four interceptions in the match.

Impact Iwobi was very active from the right wing on Saturday though he wasn't able to add to his two goals on the season. He's taken 41 shots (15 on target) to go along with his 62 chances created in this Premier League campaign, with the finale coming up next weekend.
