Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Seattle Sounders is 7.02, compared to 6.93 for Charlotte. 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. Seattle Sounders's highest-rated starter is J. Ragen (7.30), while Charlotte's best-rated player is A. Westwood (7.48).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Seattle Sounders have contributed 11 goals and 8 assists this season, led by P. Rothrock (4G). Charlotte's starters account for 10 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by P. Biel (7G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Seattle Sounders deploy 4 defenders rated 7.14 on average, against Charlotte's 4-man backline averaging 6.70. 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

Seattle Sounders field 5 midfielders averaging 6.99, versus Charlotte's 4 rated 7.00. 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

Seattle Sounders start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.70, compared to 2 for Charlotte averaging 7.06. 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 86% for Seattle Sounders and 86% for Charlotte. 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

Seattle Sounders's starters have collected 8 yellow cards this season, compared to 15 for Charlotte. 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 Seattle Sounders's starting XI is 29.7 (youngest: G. Minoungou (23), oldest: S. Frei (39)), while Charlotte average 30.0 (youngest: K. A. Calderon Vargas (23), oldest: T. Ream (38)). 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

Seattle Sounders's starters average 8 league appearances each, versus 12 for Charlotte. 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.
