First self made (serious) team for my first OTS tournament

Haven't done any of the EVs as I have little experience with the mons. Excadrill will probably be max speed max ATK, but the others I imagine wanting some bulk. Are there any benchmarks I could and should EV for? Any suggestions on set changes are also welcome 🙂
