Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Wolves is 6.70, compared to 6.96 for West Ham. 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. Wolves's highest-rated starter is José Sá (6.83), while West Ham's best-rated player is Emerson (7.20).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Wolves have contributed 4 goals and 2 assists this season, led by S. Bueno (3G). West Ham's starters account for 20 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by J. Bowen (8G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Wolves deploy 3 defenders rated 6.67 on average, against West Ham's 4-man backline averaging 7.12. 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

Wolves field 4 midfielders averaging 6.67, versus West Ham's 5 rated 6.85. 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

Wolves start 3 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 1 for West Ham averaging 6.98. 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 79% for Wolves and 79% for West Ham. 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

Wolves's starters have collected 22 yellow cards this season, compared to 14 for West Ham. 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 Wolves's starting XI is 28.4 (youngest: João Gomes (24), oldest: M. Doherty (33)), while West Ham average 30.6 (youngest: K. Mavropanos (28), oldest: Ł. Fabiański (40)). 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

Wolves's starters average 22 league appearances each, versus 15 for West Ham. 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.
