Last season we had 17 players that made at least 10 league starts

6 of them are no longer with the club, and one (Branthwaite) has been injured all season. Each of them featured in at least half of our games too.

Here are the number of league appearances they made:
Harrison 34
Doucoure 33
Young 32
Branthwaite 30
DCL 26
Lindstrom 25
Mangala 19

So to say that "Moyes basically has had all the players he had plus he got several new ones" is not really fair.

Which one of those would you have wanted to keep? nt - Makis January 11, 2026, 1:59 pm
- That's not really the point is it? - AFKAD January 11, 2026, 2:21 pm
  - There’s no patience. You get 12 months as Everton manager - Yorkblue January 11, 2026, 2:38 pm
    - No difference to any other club, to be fair. nt - Makis January 11, 2026, 3:28 pm
      - No, but we should aspire to be better - NickC January 11, 2026, 5:28 pm
  - I think you misread my points. - Makis January 11, 2026, 2:34 pm
    - "He kept all his key players" - AFKAD January 11, 2026, 2:52 pm
      - Not every player in the first team is a key player. - Makis January 11, 2026, 3:27 pm
        
        I dunno what you were trying to say obviously, still no clearer but never mind nt - AFKAD January 11, 2026, 3:45 pm
        
        I tried to show how those players were replaced. Wasn't that clear enough? nt - Makis January 11, 2026, 3:46 pm
- But you didn’t say that ! - Yorkblue January 11, 2026, 2:20 pm
  - Ok, I meant "everyone he probably wanted to keep". nt - Makis January 11, 2026, 2:32 pm
