EvertonFour shots in draw
Barry generated four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Barry took four shots during Sunday's draw. He was desperate to try and break the deadlock, but just couldn't quite pull it off. He failed to put any of his four shots on goal and his one chance created didn't go anywhere. Still it wasn't a poor performance and his movement to create shots looked solid even against a good defense.
Three shots in draw
Barry generated three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Barry fired three shots, putting two on target, across 70 minutes before making way for Beto as Everton chased a way back into the match while trailing 1-0. He drew a foul in the eighth minute during one of his most direct early involvements and forced Djordje Petrovic into saves with efforts in both halves before heading to the bench. Barry has opened the Premier League campaign with one goal through two appearances and will look to keep building on that early production in the weeks ahead.
Massive outing in EFL Cup
Barry scored three goals and added one assist during the midweek cup win over Preston North End.
Analysis: Barry continued to build on a promising start to the campaign, with his hat trick and involvement in all of his side's four goals marking a superb performance in the midweek game. He also scored his first EPL goal of the season last weekend against Crystal Palace, and he had previously registered three goals and one assist over seven pre-season friendlies. This momentum could easily put Barry ahead in the competition with Beto for the center-forward spot in upcoming fixtures.
Scores header
Barry scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Barry doubled Everton's advantage in Saturday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace with a powerful header from Iliman Ndiaye's outswinging cross in the 53rd minute, also registering two shots (one on target) and one chance created as the focal point of Everton's attack. The forward's ability to attack crosses and combine with the creative players around him makes him the primary finishing option in David Moyes' system, and his opening-day goal gives him an excellent platform to build on across a 2026-27 campaign where Everton will expect him to contribute double figures in goals.
Notches brace
Barry scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-3 draw versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Barry was the hero of the Toffees' draw Monday, as the forward came up with his first goal in the 68th minute before another in the 81st to earn a brace. This comes despite appearing off the bench, only earning 26 minutes of play. The forward is up to eight goals in 35 appearances (20 starts) this season, coming on 37 shots.
Scores against Newcastle
Barry scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Analysis: Barry made an instant impact off the bench, scoring with a well placed finish after a squared pass from Kieran Dewsbury-Hall. It was the first time he had not started in his previous nine Premier League matches, but he once again showed he deserves a place in the starting lineup. He now has six goals from 32 shots this season, highlighting his attacking upside. If he returns to the starting eleven next match, he will have a strong opportunity to build on this performance in a favorable matchup against Burnley, who sit 19th in the table.
Unsuccessful against Fulham
Barry had four shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Fulham.
Analysis: Barry finished without a goal for the second consecutive match due to his poor aim during Saturday's win. The forward added to his 11 shots (five on target) and four scoring chances created over six Premier League starts in 2026. He's still one of the squad's top scorers with five total goals throughout the campaign, and his previous production may be enough for him to retain an edge over Beto in the contention for the lone striker spot.
Scores in consecutive games
Barry scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Barry would level the match in the 76th minute Monday, saving his club a point with the goal. This marks the forward's second straight game with a goal, recording his fifth goal of the season. He has started to break out in the past month and has now earned five straight league starts, scoring four goals during that span.
Scores winner against Villa
Barry scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Barry scored the only goal in the 59th minute, following up after Dwight McNeil's shot was parried by Emiliano Martinez and chipping the rebound into the net from close range. He continued to threaten the line, being caught offside twice as Everton looked for a second goal. The striker has now scored three goals in his last four Premier League starts, highlighting how well adapted he is within the Toffees' squad after a difficult first half of the season following his arrival.
Bags another goal
Barry scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 4-2 loss against Brentford.
Analysis: Barry scored in his second straight match Sunday, this time scoring a header in the 91st minute off a Jack Grealish assist to cut the deficit to 4-2. Although the goal did not mean much, it still marked his third goal in the last six matches after he failed to score during the first 14 matches of the season. He also played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.
Converts lone chance
Barry scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Barry reclaimed his place in the starting lineup after being benched last time out and made the most of his lone opportunity, scoring from a James Garner assist. The goal was his second in four starts, coming from just three total shots, with his only scoreless appearances during that stretch coming against Chelsea and Arsenal, matches in which he failed to register an attempt.
Scores first goal this season
Barry scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.
Analysis: Barry finally got off the mark for Everton in first half stoppage time, finishing a three on one break by stroking Iliman Ndiaye's unselfish pass into the far corner to give a two goal lead to the Toffees. Earlier he had intercepted a poor Neco Williams back pass, helping create a chance that led to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's shot. His pressing and running in behind helped Everton maintain threat in transition even when Forest had more of the ball. Barry has struggled a lot this season in the final third, having targeted only two of his 16 shots in 15 appearances, one being his first goal of the season, showing how difficult it is to adapt to the Premier League.
Four shots, one on target
Barry generated four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Barry continued his strong play in what marked his fifth consecutive and seventh start through 14 appearances this season. This was the fourth time in that five-game span where he delivered multiple shots, while his four and one on target in the match signify new season highs. He also set a season-high with the two chances created.
Goal disallowed for offside
Barry generated two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Fulham.
Analysis: Barry took two shots as Everton won 2-0. He was offside twice, which cost Everton two goals, one of which he scored and one which he would have assisted. This is only the fourth game he has started this season out of 11.
Limited impact so far
Barry has started in two of Everton's seven Premier League matches this season and has yet to record a goal or an assist.
Analysis: Barry bagged 11 goals across 35 league contests for Villarreal in LaLiga during the 2024/25 season, but he's been unable to make much of an impact since moving to Everton. Expect him to remain as the backup of Beto in the attacking line, meaning his fantasy upside will be minimal until further notice.
Quiet in Cup start
Barry started a second consecutive match and was once again held quiet at the tip of the attack.
Analysis: Barry failed to get much going Wednesday, though it was encouraging that he started a second match in a row after starting a 2-0 win over Brighton in the Premier League. Barry is still an unfinished product, but he has plenty of upside with a strong frame and good goalscoring instincts. He should remain an important part of the attack as Everton look to improve with quite a few new signings throughout the attack.
