Everton had one of the most dramatic January transfer windows of any Premier League club.
The Toffees sacked Rafa Benitez before hiring Frank Lampard, while they also completed a number of big-name signings.
Meanwhile, there was also a high-profile departure as Lucas Digne left for Aston Villa.
It’s fair to say that the Toffees are a different team right now to the side they were a month ago, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at picking the Merseyside club’s strongest post-deadline day XI.
We think that three January signings make it into Everton’s strongest XI.
Frank Lampard utilised a 4-3-3 that could double-up as a 4-2-3-1 during his time at Chelsea, and we expect a similar system to be used at Everton.
Vitaliy Mykolenko comes into the backline, but there’s no place for Nathan Patterson ahead of club captain Seamus Coleman just yet.
Abdoulaye Doucoure and Donny Van De Beek start at the heart of the midfield, while Dele Alli plays in the more advanced role.
Richarlison plays on the right in what is likely to be something of a free role, while Demarai Gray starts on the left.
There are no prizes for guessing who will be starting up top as Dominic Calvert-Lewin spearheads the attack.
