That could change after a few weeks depending on how he fits into the new Toffees team being moulded by Ronald Koeman.
It is likely that they will have a top-six defence in the league, which means that clean sheet points should be earned over the course of the season.
The major problems lie with his attacking potential, as it is not currently clear how Everton will line-up and how much freedom the Englishman will be given.
There is also the small point of the left-back advancing in age as he is now 32 years of age, approaching the twilight years of his career.
He may struggle to rampage forward as frequently as he did at his peak and that will be a concern in terms of his Draft Fantasy Football value.
The return of Wayne Rooney and reported interest in Swansea attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, as per the Mirror, could lead to Baines having reduced set piece responsibilities.

This has been one his major strengths down the years in fantasy football and he could be set to lose the responsibility.
