Martin Ødegaard (8)

I still think leadership is the most important quality for captains in English football, especially when you have a young team. Does anyone really see Odegaard as a leader on the pitch? Leading by example alone isn't what I am talking about, its geeing players up, its giving players a rollicking, its lifting heads when they go down, its leading by example.

I don't, but it won't matter when we're lifting the PL trophy.

[Fran Solo]

Quality baller, captain?? Not to me, but we have had worse.

Frankly, I don't see any of our current players have Vieira or Adams' quality.

[CrimsonGunner11]

Predicted as much in the Everton matchday thread. hes the best choice out of an average bunch imo. Good decision by Arteta

Don't mind this

[Losmeister]

crimson11 are you saying you think our club is JUST average these days?

( I dont think the are world beaters, but i think there is a resurgence of sorts in the offing)

or you saying you dont see someone who commands a certain respect as CAPT?

I think certain old schoolisms about CAPTs are kinda dated myself, though i DO get it.

[Highbury Hillbilly]

We need him to focus on creating chances and moving the ball to the attacker quickly. Being captain kills everybody's performance level. Only Xhaka seems immune

The latter. I prefer someone who’s more vocal and cutthroat

gotcha. thanks for the clarification.

[Royal Gooner]

It may have been Tierney but he's jsut too injury prone. Hope Martin does well

[Zenith]

[Salibatelli]

I’m not a big fan of these new stats, they make players look better than they are, he got 4 assists last season but the above makes him look like one of the most creative and best midfielders in the PL.

There’s just no context to the chances created stat.

[Zenith]

If Ø played behind a striker who managed more than 2 league goals from open play in 30 appearances in an entire season, he'd probably have racked up way more than 4 assists.

[theHotHead]

Zenith,what are you doing?? Those stats were brought in specifically to make Ozil look good and we all know that Chances Created was a metric created by Ozil's family

[theHotHead]

Waiting for people to chime in with, what kind of chances were they, I bet they were shit chances, name the chances because I don't remember them.

These stupid stats are for pandering to the Fantasy PL audience playing out their StatDNA dreams. Absolutely no real-world relevance to whether a player is good or not, because the teams don't change each week like they do in FPL.
