Vitaliy Mykolenko
27-Year-Old
Everton
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mykolenko started 35 matches last season, contributing one goal, two assists and 10 clean sheets in the Premier League. He was fairly involved in the attack as a left-back, recording 101 crosses and creating 24 chances. He heads into the 2025/26 season as Everton's first-choice left-back, and all signs point to him having another productive campaign. He rarely receives yellow cards, keeps a fair amount of clean sheets and contributes a goal or assist every once in a while, so as long as he stays healthy, the consistency is there.
Signs new contract with Everton
Mykolenko signed a three-year contract extension with Everton, committing his future to the club through June 2029, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Mykolenko joined from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022 and has gone on to make 157 appearances as a regular in the Toffees' backline, establishing himself as one of the more reliable left-backs in the Premier League. The 27-year-old Ukraine international has consistently shown his defensive abilities against the top wingers in the division, while also contributing four goals during his time at the club, including a Goal of the Season volley in a crucial win at Leicester City in May 2022. The defender expressed ambition to push for European football with Everton under coach David Moyes, citing the freedom he has been given on the pitch as a key factor in his decision to extend his stay at the club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
