Five Everton stars named in ‘101 best Premier League players’ list – is it accurate?

Five Everton players have been named among the best Premier League players in a new report.

FourFourTwo have compiled a list of the ‘101 best players in the Premier League right now’, and there are some notable absences for the Blues as just five players are named in the list.

Moise Kean (92), Michael Keane (72), Jordan Pickford (68) and Richarlison (43) qualify for the outlet’s list, while Lucas Digne (28) has been ranked Everton’s best Premier League player.

Gylfi Sigurdsson, Andre Gomes and Bernard are notable absences, while Seamus Coleman c also be considered a snub.

This type of of list is so arbitrary, so the findings have no real relevance to anything, although it is interesting to see how the presumed neutral perceives certain Everton players.

John McGinn makes it in over Gomes, while Dwight McNeil and Nathan Redmond are counted over Sigurdsson and Bernard. There is some serious imparity there when it comes to quality of player, but as mentioned above, it is all abritrary at the end of the day.

Ultimately a list like this shows how Everton have some way to go in the public’s eye. There is no reason why the club can’t be known to possess more of the league’s best talent, they just need to work towards that.
