Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Crawley Town is 6.75, compared to 6.91 for Grimsby. 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. Crawley Town's highest-rated starter is J. Chapman (7.04), while Grimsby's best-rated player is C. McJannet (7.16).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Crawley Town have contributed 21 goals and 13 assists this season, led by H. McKirdy (8G). Grimsby's starters account for 25 goals and 19 assists, spearheaded by K. Green (12G).

Defensive Solidity

Crawley Town deploy 4 defenders rated 6.85 on average, against Grimsby's 4-man backline averaging 7.02. 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

Crawley Town field 4 midfielders averaging 6.70, versus Grimsby's 5 rated 6.78. 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

Crawley Town start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.53, compared to 1 for Grimsby averaging 6.95. 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 72% for Crawley Town and 67% for Grimsby. 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

Crawley Town's starters have collected 44 yellow cards this season, compared to 33 for Grimsby. 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 Crawley Town's starting XI is 25.4 (youngest: T. Adeyemo (20), oldest: S. Malone (34)), while Grimsby average 26.0 (youngest: M. Kacurri (20), oldest: A. Cook (35)). 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

Crawley Town's starters average 24 league appearances each, versus 30 for Grimsby. 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.
