Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Crewe is 6.79, compared to 7.25 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. Crewe's highest-rated starter is M. Demetriou (7.26), while Wrexham's best-rated player is O. Palmer (9.60).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Crewe have contributed 6 goals and 7 assists this season, led by M. Demetriou (3G). Wrexham's starters account for 6 goals and 7 assists, spearheaded by M. Cleworth (3G). 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 2 defenders rated 7.01 on average, against Wrexham's 5-man backline averaging 6.73. 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 6.30, versus Wrexham's 3 rated 7.30. 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 3 forward(s) averaging 6.84, compared to 2 for Wrexham averaging 9.60. 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 75% for Crewe and 76% 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

Crewe's starters have collected 11 yellow cards this season, compared to 10 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 Crewe's starting XI is 23.8 (youngest: M. Holíček (20), oldest: M. Demetriou (35)), while Wrexham average 28.7 (youngest: M. Cleworth (23), oldest: J. McClean (36)). 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 30 league appearances each, versus 14 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.
