Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Charlotte is 6.93, compared to 7.01 for San Jose Earthquakes. 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. Charlotte's highest-rated starter is A. Westwood (7.48), while San Jose Earthquakes's best-rated player is Daniel (7.41).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Charlotte have contributed 17 goals and 10 assists this season, led by P. Biel (7G). San Jose Earthquakes's starters account for 15 goals and 5 assists, spearheaded by P. Judd (9G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Charlotte deploy 4 defenders rated 6.55 on average, against San Jose Earthquakes's 4-man backline averaging 6.92. 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

Charlotte field 5 midfielders averaging 7.04, versus San Jose Earthquakes's 5 rated 6.86. 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

Charlotte start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.74, compared to 1 for San Jose Earthquakes averaging 7.12. 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 85% for Charlotte and 75% for San Jose Earthquakes. 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

Charlotte's starters have collected 23 yellow cards this season, compared to 10 for San Jose Earthquakes. 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 Charlotte's starting XI is 29.1 (youngest: I. Toklomati (21), oldest: A. Westwood (35)), while San Jose Earthquakes average 28.0 (youngest: J. Ricketts (24), oldest: D. Romney (32)). 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

Charlotte's starters average 13 league appearances each, versus 13 for San Jose Earthquakes. 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.
