Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Sheffield Utd is 6.89, compared to 6.86 for Wrexham. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Sheffield Utd's highest-rated starter is Gustavo Hamer (7.15), while Wrexham's best-rated player is George Thomason (7.01).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Sheffield Utd have contributed 46 goals and 32 assists this season, led by Patrick Bamford (12G). Wrexham's starters account for 36 goals and 33 assists, spearheaded by Josh Windass (15G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Sheffield Utd deploy 4 defenders rated 6.90 on average, against Wrexham's 3-man backline averaging 6.80. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Sheffield Utd field 5 midfielders averaging 6.94, versus Wrexham's 4 rated 6.89. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Sheffield Utd start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.84, compared to 3 for Wrexham averaging 6.85. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 77% for Sheffield Utd and 75% for Wrexham. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Sheffield Utd's starters have collected 48 yellow cards this season, compared to 42 for Wrexham. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Sheffield Utd's starting XI is 25.8 (youngest: Tyler Bindon (20), oldest: Adam Davies (33)), while Wrexham average 26.2 (youngest: Callum Doyle (22), oldest: Josh Windass (31)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Sheffield Utd's starters average 32 league appearances each, versus 35 for Wrexham. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
