For me it's incredibly close at left-back as I adore both Baines and Digne, so they'll have to play 45 minutes each. I've also thrown Landon Donovan in there as during his first stint with the club, he was absolutely unplayable. It's such as shame that he couldn't get out of his contract with the LA Galaxy and stick around with us, I'd put money on him becoming a real player for us had he managed to make his move permanent. It's so unfortunate that in his second stint, he never really got going. I can remember us beating Hull City 5-0 at Goodison and he basically ran the show, could have stuck ''Messi 10'' on his back and nobody would have noticed the difference.

The rest is a little bit easier however;

Howard (GOAT )

Coleman - Godfrey - Distin - Baines / Digne

Fellaini - Allan - Cahill

Donovan - Richarlison

DCL

Surely, you have to play Pienaar?

I’d have Howard and Neville too. Though I’m not sure who I would drop for Neville, I just always thought we were better with him than without. 
 

Maybe;

Saha

Pienaar Cahill James

Fellaini Doucoure  

Baines Distin Keane Coleman

Howard

Not sure. Tough one that. The Distin from his first season was great. 

Like that line up. Donovan and Richarlison off the bench, too!

I thought Distin in Martinez's first season was exceptional. I wasn't a huge admirer before that season but he was a beast that year. It makes what happened the following season a bit more of a mystery.
