Everton’s predicted XI vs Fulham as wholesale changes are on the cards

Everton are in action against Fulham this weekend, and David Moyes could make some really bold changes.

Despite a positive start, Everton were largely poor against Sunderland, and it left many supporters doubting David Moyes.

Some Toffees fans have even called for Edin Terzic to replace Moyes, so the Scotsman will be aware he needs to turn things around pretty swiftly.

That’s why there will surely be wholesale changes at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and with that said, here is Everton’s predicted starting line-up.

David Moyes makes bold Everton changes vs Fulham

Moyes could make three changes to his starting line-up, with Merlin Rohl handed his first Premier League start since joining.

Speaking exclusively to Everton News after the Tottenham Hotspur game, Alan Myers explained that he was really impressed by Rohl’s cameo.

“The second of the substitutes Moyes made was Merlin Rohl and I have to say, from the little I’ve seen of him, I’ve been impressed.

“He looks very comfortable on the ball and wants to take it forward at every opportunity which is great to see.”

So, Moyes may finally go with Rohl in the midfield with Idrissa Gana Gueye, and elsewhere, Beto may come in for Barry and Dibling for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Dibling has impressed coaches around Finch Farm, and they believe he deserves more game time, whilst Beto has looked a bit more polished than Barry, although he’s not looked great either.

David Moyes should consider Iliman Ndiaye as the false nine

The striker situation is a real issue, as Beto and Thierno Barry have one Premier League goal shared between them this season.

Moyes will probably go for Beto on the weekend, but don’t be totally surprised if Ndiaye is used as a false nine.

That’s actually the position he’s played in more than any other throughout his career, as evinced by the table below.

The Senegal international will need physical help around him if he were to play centrally, so perhaps Rohl could operate as a number 10 and hold the ball up where possible.

Rohl could be Everton’s next Marouane Fellaini, he certainly has the physical attributes to play that position.
