Pick your Everton player of the season.
We asked our Everton fan contributor for their four candidates for player of the season and you can now select your top one.
Jarrad Branthwaite
Not as strong a campaign as last, but an early-season injury made it a slow start for the 22-year-old. He has looked back to his imperious best in recent weeks and is showing once again why he is the club’s biggest asset. No doubt the rumour mill will be in full swing this summer.
Iliman Ndiaye.
A breath of fresh air in a side that has craved creativity for many years. Proved his attacking worth with goals from wide left, with Evertonians eager to see him given more game time just behind the striker. The knee injury suffered against Liverpool in February derailed things slightly, but an impressive first season nonetheless.
Jordan Pickford
The biggest compliment I can pay England’s number one is that his consistency has become his norm. Despite the usual apparent agenda against him from many who don’t watch him every week, his importance for Everton has once again come through.
Idrissa Gueye.
Even at aged 35, he has proven once again how invaluable he is to the Everton midfield. Leading the way in tackles and interceptions for the club this season, it is fair to say he has aged like a fine wine. He is out of contract this summer – but it is absolutely imperative he is a given a new one.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been named on the Everton bench for what could be his final game for the club.
The striker’s future remains uncertain with the Blues yet to announce whether the 28-year-old will still be at the club next season. He is one of more than a dozen senior players whose contracts is due to expire in a summer of transition on and off the pitch.
Despite Everton having confirmed a final position of 13th, David Moyes has kept faith with Beto, whose goals were crucial to pulling clear of trouble earlier this year.

Moyes has made four changes from the side that defeated Southampton 2-0 in the final men’s game at Goodison Park last Sunday. Two were enforced, with Ashley Young and Michael Keane replacing the injured Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Branthwaite.
Meanwhile, Abdoulaye Doucoure is on the bench for his final game as a Blue and has been replaced by loanee Carlos Alcaraz, who has one final shot at convincing Everton to make his move permanent. Fellow loanee Jack Harrison replaces Dwight McNeil in what is likely to be the Leeds United winger’s final game for Everton.
