Think I'm in the top 50. 8/10 would have got a 9 if you'd included a picture of the forelorn goalie Sherwood as requested. I can see them doing a Norwich on us, 1-4 Stones with four unfortunate own goals.
 

Ok so:

Scenario 1 - The Best Possible Outcome: Naismith & Kone DO NOT START. Mirallas & Lukaku are both fit and we win 3-0. Cleverley & Barkley make a decent impact and provide chances from the middle of the pitch. The fume dwindles as fans realise the preseason might have worked out well and our players seem up for it this time around.

Scenario 2 - Meh. Watford score within the first 5 minutes as cries of "Everton that" ring around the stadium. 80 boring minutes of sideways passing later and Osman is substituted on. He scores on the 90th minute after a scuffed shot from Lukaku falls kindly in front of him from 4 yards out. We draw and pat ourselves on the back saying "It's just the first game, we'll come good eventually".

Scenario 3 - MARTINEZ OUT. Naismith and Kone spend 90 minutes re-enacting their Laurel & Hardy routine in front of goal, rated a spectacular "5* phenomenal" in the Martinez Match Review. The Watford fans are in stitches as our attack stumbles through an hour and a half of banana slips and pies to the face. Howard brings down Deeney for a penalty and they score again on the 80th minute, at which point Mirallas is brought on too late to influence the game. After losing 2-0, the fans resign themselves to another season of self-deprecating humour and cheese on toast references.
 

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL US THE BLUES ELTON, WHO D'YA THINK YER ARE IN THAT OUFIT, THE CISCO KID? COME ON EVERTON!!!!
