🚨 Everton Could Lose Out On £15.9M In One Game As David Moyes Faces Huge Final-Day Decision 😱💰

David Moyes will know Everton’s hopes of qualifying for Europe are now hanging by a thread, but there is still a huge financial incentive for the Toffees to finish the season strongly.

Everton head into their final game of the campaign against Tottenham without a win in their last six matches — a run that has ultimately cost them a realistic shot at European football next season.

While qualification is still technically possible, Everton would need multiple results elsewhere to go their way, alongside a major swing in goal difference to leapfrog Brentford into eighth place.

Even so, there is still plenty at stake heading into Sunday’s clash in North London — something many supporters may not fully realise.

For David Moyes, however, it creates a difficult balancing act ahead of the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Premier League prize money gives Everton extra motivation

European qualification may bring the biggest rewards financially, but Premier League finishing positions also carry significant value.

Each place in the table is estimated to be worth around £2.6million in merit payments based on previous distributions.

Everton are guaranteed to finish no lower than 14th this season, but they can still mathematically climb as high as eighth heading into the final round of fixtures.

Should that unlikely scenario happen, the Toffees would reportedly receive around £34.5million in merit payments compared to the estimated £18.6million they would earn for finishing 14th.

That would represent a difference of roughly £15.9million — a sizeable boost for the club heading into a crucial summer.

Moyes faces selection dilemma against Tottenham

With European football now appearing highly unlikely, Moyes could be tempted to hand opportunities to some younger players in order to assess them ahead of pre-season.

Few Everton supporters would have an issue with that approach given the circumstances.

However, rotating too heavily could weaken Everton’s chances of ending the season with a victory — and potentially cost the club millions in additional prize money.

It leaves Moyes facing a genuine dilemma ahead of Everton’s final match of the season.
