Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Wrexham is 6.91, compared to 6.59 for Barrow. 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. Wrexham's highest-rated starter is E. Lee (7.30), while Barrow's best-rated player is B. Whitfield (6.81).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Wrexham have contributed 4 goals and 7 assists this season, led by M. Cleworth (3G). Barrow's starters account for 6 goals and 7 assists, spearheaded by B. Whitfield (3G).

Defensive Solidity

Wrexham deploy 5 defenders rated 6.84 on average, against Barrow's 3-man backline averaging 6.53. 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

Wrexham field 3 midfielders averaging 6.97, versus Barrow's 5 rated 6.53. 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

Wrexham start 2 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Barrow averaging 6.81. 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 Wrexham and 70% for Barrow. 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

Wrexham's starters have collected 10 yellow cards this season, compared to 10 for Barrow. 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.

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

Wrexham's starters average 17 league appearances each, versus 21 for Barrow. 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.
