Bored, sniff it.

Frank favours a 4-3-3, with 2 full backs, a deep lying number 10 playmaker flanked by 2 box to box midfielders, with 2 attacking wingers and a "number 9".

Using the current players in the squad, it would look like this :

Robles
Coleman - Stones - Jags - Baines
McCarthy - Barkley - Besic
Geri - Lukaku - Mirallas


Some players he "may" bring with him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Cillessen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaïro_Riedewald
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkadiusz_Milik
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Klaassen

And hopefully this fella.



Frank is a clever man, this is what his squad will look like, if their name aint down, Frank hasnt let them in, only "first team players" will be named :

GK
Robles
Cillessen

RB
Tete
Coleman

LB
Baines
Oviedo
Garbutt

CB
Stones
Mori
Jags
Riedwald

CM
McCarthy
Bazoer
Besic
Cleverley

DLP
Barkley
Klaassen

RW
Mirallas
Lennon
Geri

LW
Niasse
Fischer

CF
Lukaku
Millik
Tarashaji

Now clearly Ajax arent gonna let us mug off half their team, so in certains areas we would need to shop elsewhere. Now I know theres certain players missing and we will struggle to get rid of some of them, others not so much.

The noticeable name missing is Gareth Barry, who is a superb player, but I cant see him "fitting" into Franks system so could see him taking a little move to the US or China, the rest are fairly pony and I would just get rid of them all on a free.

Depending on our luck in getting rid of McGeady, Kone and the ilk, maybe we could add a little more creativity in the middle of the park alongside the Bosnian Zidane, Franks First 11 will look like this :

Cillessen
Tete - Stones - Riedelwald - Baines
Bazoer- Barkley - Besic
Geri --------------------Fischer
Lukaku

@Brownie

Formations and non Everton players? You Virgin.
 

I'm unsure of De Boer as he has no PL experience.

That's just my personal view.
Guardiola, Pochettino, Mourinho, Billic, Koeman have all at some point never had PL experience, I don't believe in all that baloney. Pulis, Allardyce, Alex Mccleish, Mick MCCarthy all have years of experience.

I know where your coming from as its different from any other country but a De Boer who's a proven winner would be my first choice, he will get the experience in the first season then go from there like Klopp is doing at the RS

Personally I think we need a safe but successful pair of hands who is used to the PL at this stage.
