It seems to be that Everton are always fancied as a club to scrape a finish inside the top six in the Premier League.  Manager David Moyes has transformed the club into a hard-working, passionate bunch of players who make the most of their limited ability, making it increasingly difficult for those above them to break them down and get a result. This is, of course, a stereotypical view of the Merseysiders, but they seem to strive on the pride of the club.

They have had a strong season this time out. At the time of writing this they sit above neighbours Liverpool in sixth place, and they will like to think that they have a good chance of nipping in front of Arsenal for a top five finish.

Here we take a look at who has been pulling their weight in the Toffees' squad with a close eye on their statistics. To start us off, the man who just missed out on a spot in the list - Tim Howard.

The American shot-stopper has played 29 games this year, making a total of seven clean sheets. He makes an average of 2.14 saves per game, has an average claim success of 93%.

He is, and has been for some years, Everton's number one choice between the sticks and is likely to be as long as Moyes is in charge of the club.

He'd also make a decent striker:
