Due to their FFP issues, Everton has recently had to operate on a very tight budget; the majority of their additions were made either for free or at a reduced cost.
Due to the FFP problems, manager Sean Dyche has been able to collaborate closely with his team, forming a close-knit unit that is capable of fighting relegation even if they have lost points this season.

Jordan Pickford and Jarrad Branthwaite, among others, have proved essential to the Toffees’ defensive line; as a result, Dyche’s team presently has the greatest defensive record of any team outside of the Premier League’s top four.
The pair’s inclusion on Gareth Southgate’s most recent England roster is a reflection of their outstanding performances for the team thus far during this challenging season.
But soon, following an outstanding season under Dyche, a Toffees teammate may join the two in the England lineup.
James Garner’s Everton statistics
James Garner, a midfielder, made an impression at Goodison Park in the summer of 2022 and has since shown promise in a variety of roles under Dyche.
Before securing his position in the Toffees’ midfield alongside Idrissa Gueye, he was frequently used as a right-back and right-midfielder, with Abdoulaye Doucoure occupying a slightly forward position.

Since moving to Goodison, the former Manchester United prospect has made 51 appearances and scored twice, including a spectacular goal in the Carabao Cup match at Villa Park against Aston Villa.
The former Nottingham Forest loanee’s statistics this season are particularly good; he is in the top 7% of all midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues, averaging 1.6 interceptions per game in the Premier League.
This season, Garner has averaged 2.6 tackles per ninety, displaying his ability to win balls in the heart of Dyche’s squad.

For the Toffees, the 23-year-old has also shown greatness in possession, averaging 3.6 progressive passes per game and dishing out two assists in the Premier League thus far this year.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the 19-year-old is currently worth somewhat more than six times that of his form-mate Doucoure, who is valued at €5 million (£4 million).
