Just when you think it’s not possible, The Blue Frontier brings to you their biggest list of names yet – almost 70! - with Part 5 of their 2024–25 Everton squad assessment focusing on CM/DM.  If you want some in depth analysis on a massive position of need for Everton, this may be your podcast.   

Building up on their initial team analysis in Part 1, James, Shan, and Ryan try and find CMs and DMs to address Everton’s massive needs for better progression, retention, and defensive solidity.  And they legitimately spend almost 2 hours going through almost 70 names for multiple midfield roles.    

But as in the previous episode, the podcast starts with looking at the performance of existing players – Gana, Garner, Iroegbunam – that could be options at the position, and moves on to consider players beginning with free transfers and relegation bargains and moving on to players identified via a combination of scouting models, Wyscout data, and quite a few contributions from our Discord community.

In this episode, The Blue Frontier gets into many names in considerable details in order to finish with a few recommendations to transform Everton’s midfield. And as usual, there are no agendas, no intentional hot takes, but plenty of different ideas, out of the box thinking, and some unusual names that make a lot more sense than the silly season rumor mill.   If you would like to find a group of guys that attempt to keep it civil and realistic, we encourage you to give it a listen.
