11 clearances against City Tarkowski recorded one tackle (zero won), 11 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minu...

Impact Tarkowski paced all players on the pitch in clearances for the afternoon and usually posts enough defensive peripherals to be useful for fantasy purposes. The yellow card is his third of the season, so he'll want to start playing with a bit of added caution.

Blocks three shots in loss Tarkowski blocked three shots, engaged in three tackles and made a clearance in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Bournemouth.

Impact Tarkowski was one of Everton's more active defenders on Saturday, but it was not a distinguishing performance as the Toffees suffered a second heavy defeat by Bournemouth in a week. He contributed to all three of the shots that Everton managed to block and did take a strike himself which was off-target. From 15 appearances (all starts) he has contributed to four clean sheets.

Active defensively in loss Tarkowski recorded three clearances, two blocked shots, one interception and one shot off target in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Impact The former Burnley and England international was active at the back, though his final statistical output wasn't as good as it had been in other matches. Expect Tarkowski to remain a steady piece at the back for Everton in a tough matchup against Tottenham this upcoming weekend.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recorded nine clearances Tarkowski registered nine clearances, five blocks and one interception versus West Ham United on Sunday.

Impact Tarkowski led the Toffees in both clearances and blocks in Sunday's contest, racking up 42 clearances through the opening seven matches of the year.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances Tarkowski created two chances, made an interception, two tackles (winning both) and three clearances during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Tarkowski finished with the second highest amount of interceptions, tackles and clearances on the team while tying for the team-high with his two chances created. It's been a rough start to the defender's Everton career as the Toffees are still in search of their first point of the season.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in loss Tarkowski put two-of-two shots on target, made two blocks and completed three interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Tarkowski put in a fair performance by his standards but with less reliance on the clearances that often defined his work at Burnley. This should be as expected in a more talented team but he still may face a struggle with relegation if the attack can't match his work rate.

Signs with Everton Tarkowski has signed a four-year deal with Everton after ending his tenure at Burnley earlier this summer.

Impact Tarkowski is the first addition for Everton this summer and it's a big one, as it'll be an immediate help on the back line. Tarkowski had been a constant for Burnley over the years, making at least 31 starts each of the last five campaigns. He figures to immediately plug into Everton's starting XI, though Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina, Michael Keane and Mason Holgate will all be fighting for time.

JULY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes four clearances in loss Tarkowski took one shot, created one chance, made two tackles (one won) and four clearances and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Tarkowski could not help them avoid the home loss and the frustrating relegation to the second league after another loss in the finale. The centerback logged only seven clean sheets in 35 appearances (35 starts) in the campaign, while also posting one goal, two assists, 64 tackles, 183 clearances, 61 blocks and 11 yellow cards.

MAY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes full 90 in return Tarkowski made four clearances and created two chances in 90 minutes of Thursday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Tarkowski didn't have any setbacks Thursday, so he should be back in the starting XI Sunday. It's a massive home finale for Burnley, who could stay above relegation with a win, though even a draw could do them well, as they have the goal differential edge on Leeds.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Villa Tarkowski (hamstring) will feature in the starting XI against Aston Villa on Thursday.

Impact Tarkowski returns after missing just one match due to his hamstring problem. In his last five outings, the central defender has generated four shots (one on target), 21 clearances and nine tackles (six won). Barring any setbacks, Tarkowski should be able to start again in the season finale versus Newcastle United on Sunday despite the quick turnaround.

MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On grass running Tarkowski (hamstring) is on the grass and "stepping things up" ahead of Thursday's trip to Aston Villa, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact It looks like it was only a hamstring tweak for Tarkowski, but he's still not of the woods yet. He's still a doubt to feature for the final two matches, but with the Premier League on the line, it wouldn't be surprising if he was in the starting XI in either contest, taking the spot of Kevin Long.

MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Tottenham Tarkowski (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Tarkowski was a late call due to a hamstring issue and was ultimately ruled out. Matthew Lowton, Kevin Long and Nathan Collins are starting in a three-man defense in this one.
