Atlanta United FC's highest-rated starter is M. Almiron (7.22), while Seattle Sounders's best-rated player is A. Rusnak (7.60).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Atlanta United FC have contributed 25 goals and 12 assists this season, led by E. Latte Lath (7G). Seattle Sounders's starters account for 44 goals and 32 assists, spearheaded by D. Musovski (16G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Atlanta United FC deploy 4 defenders rated 6.80 on average, against Seattle Sounders's 4-man backline averaging 7.03. 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

Atlanta United FC field 5 midfielders averaging 6.99, versus Seattle Sounders's 5 rated 7.27. 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

Atlanta United FC start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.82, compared to 1 for Seattle Sounders averaging 6.90. 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 44% for Atlanta United FC and 51% for Seattle Sounders. 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

Atlanta United FC's starters have collected 38 yellow cards this season, compared to 36 for Seattle Sounders. 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.

The average age of Atlanta United FC's starting XI is 29.0 (youngest: L. Brennan (20), oldest: B. Guzan (41)), while Seattle Sounders average 26.9 (youngest: R. Baker-Whiting (20), oldest: Y. Gomez Andrade (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

Atlanta United FC's starters average 24 league appearances each, versus 26 for Seattle Sounders. 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.
