Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Crewe is 6.89, compared to 6.86 for Salford City. 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. Crewe's highest-rated starter is M. Demetriou (7.28), while Salford City's best-rated player is A. Oluwo (7.14).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Crewe have contributed 44 goals and 38 assists this season, led by J. March (11G). Salford City's starters account for 24 goals and 17 assists, spearheaded by A. Oluwo (5G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Crewe deploy 4 defenders rated 6.96 on average, against Salford City's 5-man backline averaging 6.89. 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

Crewe field 5 midfielders averaging 6.91, versus Salford City's 3 rated 6.88. 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

Crewe start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.82, compared to 2 for Salford City averaging 6.64. 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 68% for Crewe and 64% for Salford City. 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

Crewe's starters have collected 50 yellow cards this season, compared to 45 for Salford City. 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 Crewe's starting XI is 25.7 (youngest: M. Holicek (20), oldest: M. Demetriou (35)), while Salford City average 27.0 (youngest: M. Young (19), oldest: O. Turton (33)). 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

Crewe's starters average 36 league appearances each, versus 32 for Salford City. 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.
