Beto

Analysis: Beto was expected to hold a secondary role for Everton this season, but the striker should see steady playing time in Serie A, especially if Moise Kean departs Fiorentina before the end of the transfer window. Beto lived some of the best moments of his career in Italy, including back-to-back seasons with at least 10 goals for Udinese in 2021/22 and 2022/23.

One shot off bench

Beto had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Analysis: Beto replaced Thierno Barry in the 70th minute and registered one shot that failed to trouble Djordje Petrovic and one cross that found no target as Everton chased an equalizer during the 20-minute stretch before James Tarkowski's late strike rescued a point. The striker made little impact in terms of creating clear-cut chances, though his physical presence gave Everton a different dimension in attack down the stretch. Beto has come off the bench in each of Everton's opening two Premier League matches without finding the back of the net.
