#9 Everton
Players In: Richarlison, Lucas Digne

Players Out: Ramiro Funes Mori, Wayne Rooney, Luke Garbutt, David Henen, Joel Robles, Jose Baxter
This will be a controversial pick for ninth place, considering the questionable transfers that have taken place. Without question, £40m for Richarlison is a flagrant rip-off, and the Everton board are foolish for bidding that much for a player who hasn't done anything of note since November 2017. Lucas Digne from Barcelona, however - now that's a good signing. He'll slot in well at left-back, and will take over from the ageing Leighton Baines.
Everton's outgoings are standard and mostly expected. But there need to be more players to come in if they're going to increase the quality in their squad. Currently, it looks bland and doesn't differ much from last season at all, but the fact it's still a strong side despite this is why I think they'll finish so highly. Their experience in the Premier League will help them fend off the newcomers too.
