Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Philadelphia Union is 6.87, compared to 7.10 for New England Revolution. 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. Philadelphia Union's highest-rated starter is F. Westfield (7.12), while New England Revolution's best-rated player is M. Turner (7.79).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Philadelphia Union have contributed 5 goals and 1 assists this season, led by D. Jean Jacques (2G). New England Revolution's starters account for 14 goals and 9 assists, spearheaded by C. Gil (4G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Philadelphia Union deploy 4 defenders rated 6.99 on average, against New England Revolution's 3-man backline averaging 7.00. 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

Philadelphia Union field 4 midfielders averaging 6.88, versus New England Revolution's 5 rated 6.85. 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

Philadelphia Union start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.58, compared to 2 for New England Revolution averaging 7.28. 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 74% for Philadelphia Union and 82% for New England Revolution. 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

Philadelphia Union's starters have collected 10 yellow cards this season, compared to 8 for New England Revolution. 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 Philadelphia Union's starting XI is 25.3 (youngest: F. Westfield (20), oldest: A. Blake (35)), while New England Revolution average 26.1 (youngest: P. Miller (18), oldest: C. Gil (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

Philadelphia Union's starters average 11 league appearances each, versus 9 for New England Revolution. 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.
