4. Phil Jagielka
The 35-year-old English centre-back is another Premier League captain on this list. Everton signed him in the summer window of 2007 from Sheffield United, and since then, he has been a constant presence in the Toffees' backline.
At the start of 2016/17, a combination of age and the emergence of Ramiro Funes Mori forced him out of contention, but he made a comeback when the Argentine suffered a knee injury on national duty in March 2017.
This season, the signing of Michael Keane was expected to alienate him further, but Ronald Koeman's three-man-defence setup allowed him to play alongside Keane and Ashley Williams.
However, successive losses to Chelsea, Tottenham and United prompted Koeman to drop Jagielka and revert to four at the back. It resulted in a rather unconvincing 2-1 win over Bournemouth, but unfortunately, it means that the former Sheffield youth product is unlikely to break into the first team ahead of Keane and Williams.
He does, however, provide much-needed depth to a very leaky defence that has conceded the third most number of goals in the league so far. His experience will prove to be valuable for Everton's several young and upcoming defenders like Mason Holgate.
His 40 caps for England is quite impressive, considering the fact that his professional career overlapped with that of Rio Ferdinand and John Terry. While he might not be in the mould of legends like them, his no-nonsense style of defending and towering presence within the box has seen him play at the highest level well into his thirties, and he might go on for a couple more years before retiring.
