Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for West Ham is 6.87, compared to 6.80 for Brighton. 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. West Ham's highest-rated starter is J. Bowen (6.98), while Brighton's best-rated player is P. Groß (7.06).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of West Ham have contributed 13 goals and 10 assists this season, led by J. Bowen (8G). Brighton's starters account for 16 goals and 4 assists, spearheaded by D. Welbeck (13G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

West Ham deploy 4 defenders rated — on average, against Brighton's 3-man backline averaging 6.90. 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

West Ham field 5 midfielders averaging 6.87, versus Brighton's 5 rated 6.75. 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

West Ham start 1 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Brighton averaging 6.70. 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 75% for West Ham and 84% for Brighton. 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

West Ham's starters have collected 6 yellow cards this season, compared to 22 for Brighton. 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 West Ham's starting XI is 33.0 (youngest: J. Bowen (29), oldest: Ł. Fabiański (40)), while Brighton average 33.4 (youngest: S. March (31), oldest: D. Welbeck (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

West Ham's starters average 23 league appearances each, versus 22 for Brighton. 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.
