Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Bristol Rovers is 6.88, compared to 6.81 for Crawley Town. 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. Bristol Rovers's highest-rated starter is K. Balmer (7.23), while Crawley Town's best-rated player is L. Copley (7.16).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Bristol Rovers have contributed 21 goals and 22 assists this season, led by E. Harrison (7G). Crawley Town's starters account for 18 goals and 13 assists, spearheaded by H. McKirdy (8G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Bristol Rovers deploy 3 defenders rated 6.94 on average, against Crawley Town's 4-man backline averaging 6.87. 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

Bristol Rovers field 4 midfielders averaging 6.99, versus Crawley Town's 4 rated 6.82. 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

Bristol Rovers start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.67, compared to 2 for Crawley Town averaging 6.53. 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 65% for Bristol Rovers and 71% for Crawley Town. 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

Bristol Rovers's starters have collected 51 yellow cards this season, compared to 41 for Crawley Town. 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 Bristol Rovers's starting XI is 25.9 (youngest: S. Forde (21), oldest: R. Smallwood (35)), while Crawley Town average 25.2 (youngest: L. Copley (19), oldest: S. Malone (34)). 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

Bristol Rovers's starters average 23 league appearances each, versus 23 for Crawley Town. 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.
