See how EFC fans have rated each player individually and by position
Everton FC’s impressive season continues with the smooth transition to Roberto Martinez’s brand of football translating into good results.
All season Toffees fans have been voting in our weekly post-match player ratings polls – grading each man out of 10 after every game.
We have gathered those scores together to give you a look at the campaign so far.
The statistics are broken down into an overall average score for each Everton player, as well as by player and position.
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 21 games and one FA Cup tie 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 goalkeeper
When we first did a round-up of ratings back in October, Tim Howard’s average score for the season was 6.6 out of 10.
That has risen to 6.9 as the Blues custodian keeps on delivering decent displays.
The blue bars below show his average score in each game, with the yellow line showing the team average score for comparison.
Everton FC defenders
A cluster of Blues defenders score high in the average ratings, a testament to a tight backline which has only conceded 19 goals in the 2013/14 league campaign to date.
Bryan Oviedo and Antolin Alcaraz have played less games than others but have impressed when called upon, resulting in average ratings of 7.4 out of 10.
Not far behind are John Heitinga on 7.2 and Seamus Coleman on 7.1.
Everton FC midfielders
As he did back in October, Gareth Barry tops the midfield charts with an average rating of 7.2 out of 10.
Ross Barkley is right up there with him on the same score, with James McCarthy on 7.1
Everton FC attackers
While Everton’s goals have come from a variety of sources this season, their forward line has certainly chipped in and been rewarded with solid ratings.
Romelu Lukaku has scored 6.9 out of 10 on average so far, with Gerard Deulofeu just behind on 6.8.
Team performances
The 1-0 win away at Manchester United is seen as the best team performance so far, with average player ratings for the starting eleven that day rocketing up to 8.2
The 1-1 draw at Arsenal was not far behind with a team average of 7.8 and next was the 4-0 win against QPR at home in the FA Cup on 7.6.
Lowest rated in terms of overall performance was the 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace, where the team’s average rating dropped to 4.6.
