Squad depth is key for any Premier League side looking to make an impact on the division, and Everton find themselves in an unusual position where they appear to have too much of a good thing.
Which player (if any) do you think should get more minutes this season? #EFC pic.twitter.com/Z06Gvoplw9

The Toffees have one of the most quality squads in the Premier League, bolstering the likes of World Cup winner Djibril Sidibe, Fabian Delph and Moise Kean as back-up options in the reserves, and a post from The-Toffees.com has raised a question as to who in the Everton team deserves more minutes in the first-team.
The question was included with photos of the aforementioned Sidibe as well as Tom Davies, Alex Iwobi and Lewis Gibson, and plenty of Everton fans on social media believed that these four players could have a shot of impressing in the first-team if Marco Silva was to hand them a chance.
Here’s what some Everton fans had to say about The-Toffees.com post about the four Toffee players…
All four, but what a great dilemma to finally have…..

All of the above?

All 4

Some Everton supporters, though, were more selective with who they rather see play regularly in the first-team…
Kean isn’t getting enough playing time for me, if you buy a player of that potential it’s to build a team around them and so far he’s not getting anywhere near enough playing time! Secondly I think iwobi should start every game too

maybe Gibson. he will be great player and world class df.

Kean definitely needs to start more games, Sidibe is a breath of fresh air on the right & while Davies was decent against West Ham I wouldn’t necessarily trust him away from home.
It’s not like we haven’t seen Davies play well for us before, it’s his inconsistency that costs us.

Sidibe Davies Iwobi. Gibson on bench to start with. But the big 3 should start so long as they perform each game. Otherwise got to be dropped. COYB

As records from Transfermarkt show, Everton has one of the most stacked squads in the Premier League, with every position well stocked.
