Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Fulham is 6.88, compared to 6.83 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. Fulham's highest-rated starter is B. Leno (6.93), while Brighton's best-rated player is P. Groß (7.06).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Fulham have contributed 2 goals and 0 assists this season, led by K. Tete (1G). Brighton's starters account for 3 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by J. Veltman (1G). 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 6.85 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

Fulham field 5 midfielders averaging 6.89, versus Brighton's 5 rated 6.45. 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 —, compared to 2 for Brighton averaging 7.06. 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 83% for Fulham and 86% 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

Fulham's starters have collected 9 yellow cards this season, compared to 17 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 Fulham's starting XI is 30.0 (youngest: A. Robinson (28), oldest: B. Leno (33)), while Brighton average 33.0 (youngest: S. March (31), oldest: L. Dunk (34)). 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 17 league appearances each, versus 18 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.
