Looking forward to seeing what kouyate can do for the u18s this season seeing he's the only forward in the group

Was gonna say we'll have a really strong U18's but I can't remember who's moving out of that group to U23.

Last lad looks like he's a big fan of the grass!

...never knew we had Danny Mills’ son, he generally talks well of Everton.

Doesn’t look like the U23s will be playing in the EFL Trophy next season going off the list of invitees on the EFL website

I’ve got higher hopes than usual for this lot, but I think that every year. It’s hard to pick the standouts, last year it was Onyango and Dobbin, Astley the year before that . Reece Welch had the most u18 appearances I think , plus his England caps and looks about 6 foot 2/3 ins already and a decent prospect, the other defender Eli Campbell is not much smaller with a good left foot . Thierry Small at left back has been discussed on here previously , skilfull player for a full back. Martin Waldron , our ex Academy boss , singled out Kouyate and Isaac Price as his most promising players recently. Luke Butterfield has played u18. The one whose caught my eye is Charlie Whitaker in midfield , he looks like he’s got drive , energy and capable of scoring goals.

From last year , Hughes, Quirk , Carrol, Hunt, Astley, Tyrer have moved up and no longer eligible , don’t think I’ve missed anybody.
From this years 2nd year Dobbin and Onyango are earmarked for the U23s but may drop down occasionally.

that was a very nice article on Dobbin the other day. It did concern me he struggled when moved up to u23 and moved back down. But so far he fits the criteria of a potential first teamer.. playing an age group ahead and plays for his national side.

Everton made the decision to pass on participation in the EFL Trophy next season due to fixture congestion.

Shame; only senior football these lads get, not sure how they have fixture congestion in the U23's either tbh!

Well like they said, the EFL Trophy will fall on international fixtures and our u23s will mostly be called up for international duty.

They don't want to put u18s against senior teams, which is fair enough

U18's should go against senior men. These kids, if they're special, should be knocking on the first team door when they're 18 so any experience they can get is great IMO.

Our best u18s who will be able to compete against seniors are probably on international duty too. I'm sure they thought about it, but what if they are left with young players who are physically and mentally not ready for mens football yet? could easily get injuries and put their development back

It's a shame but I can see why.
