Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Fulham is 6.83, compared to 6.88 for Aston Villa. 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. Fulham's highest-rated starter is Harry Wilson (7.18), while Aston Villa's best-rated player is Youri Tielemans (7.20).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Fulham have contributed 30 goals and 18 assists this season, led by Harry Wilson (10G). Aston Villa's starters account for 32 goals and 23 assists, spearheaded by Ollie Watkins (11G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Fulham deploy 4 defenders rated 6.80 on average, against Aston Villa's 4-man backline averaging 6.89. 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

Fulham field 5 midfielders averaging 6.86, versus Aston Villa'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

Fulham start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.72, compared to 1 for Aston Villa averaging 6.76. 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 81% for Fulham and 82% for Aston Villa. 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

Fulham's starters have collected 44 yellow cards this season, compared to 38 for Aston Villa. 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 Fulham's starting XI is 28.4 (youngest: Ryan Sessegnon (25), oldest: Raul Jimenez (34)), while Aston Villa average 28.3 (youngest: Lamare Bogarde (21), oldest: Emiliano Martinez (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

Fulham's starters average 29 league appearances each, versus 28 for Aston Villa. 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.
