Jordan Pickford - Concedes goal to Wolves Pickford made four saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Pickford was beaten by a Hwang Hee-Chan strike on Saturday, but his side was able to secure an important draw via a very late equalizer from Yerry Mina. Next weekend will be the season finale against 14th-placed Bournemouth, which have scored 37 goals in as many Premier League matches.

Michael Keane - Records assist off bench Keane subbed into Saturday's match against Wolverhampton in the 29th minute, making a clearance, an interception and recording an assist in the 1-1 draw.

Impact Keane replaced an injured Nathan Patterson (undisclosed) in the first half of Saturday's match, and he produced a vital assist for Yerry Mina's 99th-minute equalizer from a corner kick routine against Wolves. Mina has replaced Keane as a center-back in the XI for Everton's last three games heading into next weekend's season finale.

Yerry Mina - Scores goal against Wolves Mina took three shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton. He also made a clearance, created a chance and won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Mina scored a vital equalizer from a corner kick routine deep into stoppage time on Saturday as Everton tries to put as much separation between themselves and the relegation zone heading into the season finale next weekend. This was Mina's first Premier League goal since December 2020, and he's now started each of his side's last three games in central defense.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Leaves with injury Saturday Calvert-Lewin left Saturday's game against Wolverhampton with an injury.

Impact Everton have had a rough game regarding injuries Saturday, as both Calvert-Lewin and Nathan Patterson (undisclosed) departed the game during the first half. Calvert-Lewin had also suffered a thigh injury in the previous game, and the physical problems have been a consistent negative point of his season, as he was seen limping off the field before being subbed off. Demarai Gray will play upfront in the second half.

Nathan Patterson - Picks up injury vs Wolves Patterson left Saturday's game against Wolverhampton in the first half due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact The promising right-back departed the contest with an apparent injury, but the severity of it remains to be seen. Michael Keane, who regularly plays as a center-back, replaced him to feature on the right side of the defense.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Starting Saturday Calvert-Lewin (groin) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Wolves.

Impact Calvert-Lewin picked up a muscular injury in the previous match, but it wasn't anything serious, and he'll lead the attacking line once again in a pivotal match for the Toffees. Calvert-Lewin has scored just two goals in 17 appearances (15 starts) this season.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Conor Coady - Will sit out Saturday Coady will not be available for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Coady has not been getting much playing time in recent matches and will not see time on the pitch this weekend for an undisclosed reason. He's been an unused substitute since March 1, making his first appearances on the pitch last weekend for the first time since Feb 25. This is because he has been benched for Yerry Mina.

Tom Davies - Suffering from hamstring injury Davies has been dealing with a hamstring injury and will likely not be available for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton. "He's had an injury as well, so unlikely to figure this...

Impact Davies has been dealing with a hamstring injury and will likely miss his second match in a row. He's been downgraded to a bench role this season, making just four starts in 19 appearances this season, totaling just 15 tackles (nine won) and seven clearances thus far.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Expected to miss Wolves match Mykolenko (thigh) has not trained this week and is unlikely to be ready for Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He has got a chance for the next one...

Impact It's a tough situation for Everton, as they are missing multiple full-backs during the run-in, which doesn't help their chances of getting out of relegation. Mason Holgate started at left-back in last week's match against Man City, but that experiment didn't last 60 minutes against Riyad Mahrez. There's a chance Dyche changes the formation to three center-backs with Conor Coady back in the XI given they don't have a true left-back in the squad.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Hopeful to feature Saturday Calvert-Lewin (groin) will be in the squad Saturday against Wolverhampton but will be a late test to feature, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Hopefully (he can play). He's had a...

Impact Calvert-Lewin was subbed off as a precaution last match and it seems like he's been fine this week and training almost normally. There's a chance he doesn't start as another precaution, but if he can train fully, it makes sense to push him into the XI given the dire situation. Calvert-Lewin maybe isn't scoring, but he's helped the team in other ways since getting back into the squad last month. If he doesn't start, Neal Maupay will likely get the call for the first 60 or so minutes.

James Tarkowski - Takes two shots versus Man City Tarkowski had two shots (one on target), created one chance and made one tackle, three clearances, two interceptions and one block during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Tarkowski didn't have his eye-popping numbers as both him and the rest of his defensive teammates struggled against Man City's high-octane attack. The center-back even tried to made up for that using his prowess on aerial plays to try supporting Everton's offense. After transferring from Burnley before the start of the campaign, Tarkowski already became a crucial part of the squad, having started in each of the 36 matches played so far.

Dwight McNeil - Active outing against Man City McNeil had one off-target shot, created three chances, sent in eight crosses (three accurate) and made three tackles (two won), three clearances, four interceptions and one block d...

Impact McNeil couldn't replicate his previous performance - and no one expected him to do that against Man City - but still found other ways to contribute, putting up one of his most well-rounded outings of the campaign. After struggling during the first half of his first season at Everton, the winger now looks more settled, with five goals over his last 10 starts.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Beaten three times versus Man City Pickford made one save and conceded three goals during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Pickford wasn't at fault for any of the three goals he allowed but the fact that he couldn't make enough saves to offset them torpedoed his fantasy output. WIth 11 saves and 10 goals against over his last four starts, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during Saturday's visit to Wolverhampton.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Hooked at halftime as precaution Calvert-Lewin made two clearances and completed three passes before being subbed out at halftime of Sunday's defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Calvert-Lewin may not have filled up the stat sheet Sunday but he posed a dangerous outlet threat to City in the first half, following up a goal and an assist in his previous two matches. Everton manager Sean Dyche said after the game that Calvert-Lewin felt some tightness in his groin, "but the hope is he came off before damage was done." Neal Maupay replaced him up front for the second half.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Out with thigh injury Mykolenko is not in the match day squad to face Manchester City on Sunday due to a thigh injury.

Impact Mykolenko misses out on Sunday's match after succumbing to the injury in the buildup. The fullback gives way to Mason Holgate in the starting XI.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andros Townsend - Training with squad Townsend (knee) completed first-team training Friday with the senior squad after having gone 45 minutes with the U21 side.

Impact Townsend will no doubt be eager to get onto the pitch before the end of Everton's season, having last appeared for the club March 17, 2022 against Newcastle. At this point, Townsend is unlikely to break into the starting XI, especially with the Toffees mired in a relegation battle, but could see some opportunities to come off the bench if given the all-clear.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Undergoes knee procedure Coleman had surgery on his knee and is officially shut down for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Seamus did have an operation and it has gone w...

Impact Coleman will be out of contract with the club this summer but it seems the door remains open for the longest-tenured Everton player to remain with the club heading into the 2022-23 campaign. Under previous manager Frank Lampard, the veteran Coleman was the reserve choice behind youngster Nathan Patterson. Injuries to both right-backs kept the competition going all season long with Coleman seeming the preference under Dyche.

Mason Holgate - Available for selection Holgate served a three-match ban for violent conduct and is now eligible to return.

Impact Holgate was sent off against Crystal Palace and spent three matches on the sideline. Holgate has largely gone unused on the bench even when available and likely isn't set for any sort of major role with Nathan Patterson fully fit once more and taking the starting job at right-back once more.

Jordan Pickford - Stops four in win Pickford made four saves while conceding one goal in Monday's 5-1 victory over Brighton.

Impact Pickford has earned just one clean sheet in his last eight contests while making 30 saves and conceding 15 goals. An upcoming clash with Manchester City on Sunday won't improve the keeper's chances of earning another shutout.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amadou Onana - Records assist off bench Onana registered an assist in a three-minute cameo against Brighton on Monday.

Impact Onana has logged a combined three minutes in the team's last two contests, having seemingly been supplanted in the starting XI by James Garner. If he can break his away back onto the pitch, Onana should tack up plenty of defensive stats, including tackles, clearances and interceptions.
