Defensive Solidity

Norwich deploy 5 defenders rated — on average, against Brighton's 3-man backline averaging 6.96.

The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Forward Threat

Passing & Build-Up

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
