Serious question, if we were to bring in a starting quality playmaker like Yarmalenko, who would they play ahead of when everyone is fit?

Would we drop Cleverly and push Barkley out wide? The popular answer would probably be to drop Barry but we know that won't happen.

I know Barkley isn't a #10, but he is a playmaker and I'm not positive that its necessary to sign another one with the intention of bringing them into the first XI immediately.

That or I've fully succumbed to stockholm syndrome under captivity of this board.

Everyone apart from Roberto knows the answer. Drop Barry, Barkley back, playmaker at 10, Mirallas and Deulofeu wide. Top 4 side NEA. Better than any team Liverpool or Spurs could put out and would leave us in a prime position to challenge a shaky United. If Barry and McCarthy persist we're finishing 9th at best.

Well Kone is starting currently, so him?

Kiev leave door open for Yarmolenko to move to Everton
By NSNO.co.uk on August 31, 2015
Dynamo Kiev president Igor Surkis has said that Andriy Yarmolenko is free to join Everton in January if his side do not find success in the Champions League.

Surkis said that he was happy with Everton’s offer and that Yarmolenko was prepared to leave, but that the final offer came too late in the transfer window for Kiev to sell.

“Everton began real negotiations with me only five days ago,” he said. “How can I sell Yarmolenko and put my team in a difficult position?

“Should I sell Yarmolenko and see my team humiliated in the Champions League? I don’t want that.

“With Yarmolenko we have a great chance of having a great Champions League season.

“If Everton came to me early in the transfer window, I would have sold Yarmolenko. The price is right, all the details are right.

“I was satisfied with Everton’s offer. I would’ve sold him if Everton came earlier in the transfer window.

“If we are out of the Champions League in the winter Yarmolenko will be on offer. I will let him leave the team but I will try to restrain him. And wants it to continue to contract or not – it’s his right.

“Yes, he would go to Everton. He will still be able to make a decision – to leave.

“With or without money. I will not put pressure on it. I think Andriy has no ego, we have a normal dialogue with him.”
 
When everyone's fit, Mirallas plays ahead of Kone. Kone's starting since Mirallas is still working his way back to full fitness.

Kone's starting because Martinez seems to have some weird thing against Mirallas. He's easily fit enough now, he should be starting every game.

In all seriousness, we don't need to have a nailed on starting XI every week. If we have a versatile squad we can set up in different ways, with a couple of different players depending on who we're against.
