Romelu Lukaku has stood out for Everton this season, say the fans

Everton FC have grown into this season as they got used to the new methods of Roberto Martinez, resulting in a strong unbeaten run after a slow start.

That development has been graded by the Everton fans who vote in our weekly player ratings poll – grading each player out of 10 during and after every game.

Now we have gathered those scores together to give you a look at how you have rated each Blue across this season so far.

The statistics are broken down into an overall score for each Everton player, as well as by player and position, while we also look at how Blues stars perform in home and away games.

These charts and stats will continue to be updated as the season progresses, so be sure to come back and see how your favourite player is doing.

Overall ratings

Everton FC have played seven games so far and fans have voted after every one of those matches to score each player.

Those scores have been combined into the overall gallery and chart below.

Everton FC fans player ratings – the season so far

Everton FC goalkeeper

Tim Howard has been unchallenged as number one and responded with some solid displays behind a solid and well established defence.

His overall rating from the fans is a steady and solid 6.6 out of 10.

Everton FC defenders

Everton’s first choice backline is one of the steadiest and well recognised in the league.

Earlier this season Roberto Martinez was quick to praise his full backs for their good form and that has been recognised in the fans stats, with Leighton Baines scoring 6.8 – peaking at 9.3 out of 10 in the West Ham game – and Seamus Coleman sharing that score.

John Stones has also shown plenty of promise in his appearances.

Everton FC midfielders

The Everton FC midfield is the story of new arrivals, with Gareth Barry leading the way since he moved from Man City on loan.

Ross Barkley has also impressed as his talent and ability continue to blossom.

Marouane Fellaini – now at Manchester United – scored poorly in the three games he played for the Blues, perhaps reflecting fans’ feelings over his departure and his own desire to leave.

Everton FC attackers

Again a new arrival electrified the Everton frontline this season – Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku.

There is clear distance between his eight out of 10 average score and the next rated attacker, Gerard Deulofeu on 6.6/10.

Arouna Kone was marked as five out of 10 by fans, as he continues to adjust to life at a new club.

Home vs Away form

The Everton fans’ perception is that the team have been performing more strongly at Goodison Park than away from it, although the Newcastle match – which generated high scores for almost every player – may have skewed the findings somewhat.

Leighton Baines has the smallest difference between his home and away form.
