Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Los Angeles FC is 7.17, compared to 7.04 for Real Salt Lake. 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. Los Angeles FC's highest-rated starter is Son Heung-Min (8.18), while Real Salt Lake's best-rated player is Z. Gozo (7.45).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Los Angeles FC have contributed 47 goals and 29 assists this season, led by D. Bouanga (26G). Real Salt Lake's starters account for 11 goals and 8 assists, spearheaded by Z. Gozo (6G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Los Angeles FC deploy 3 defenders rated 7.04 on average, against Real Salt Lake's 4-man backline averaging 6.72. 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

Los Angeles FC field 4 midfielders averaging 7.03, versus Real Salt Lake's 4 rated 7.37. 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

Los Angeles FC start 3 forward(s) averaging 7.60, compared to 2 for Real Salt Lake averaging 6.80. 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 49% for Los Angeles FC and 81% for Real Salt Lake. 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

Los Angeles FC's starters have collected 46 yellow cards this season, compared to 13 for Real Salt Lake. 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 Los Angeles FC's starting XI is 28.3 (youngest: D. Martinez (19), oldest: H. Lloris (39)), while Real Salt Lake average 26.0 (youngest: Z. Gozo (18), oldest: Rafael Cabral (35)). 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

Los Angeles FC's starters average 27 league appearances each, versus 9 for Real Salt Lake. 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.
