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. San Jose Earthquakes's highest-rated starter is Daniel (7.41), while Minnesota United FC's best-rated player is A. Markanich (7.03).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of San Jose Earthquakes have contributed 3 goals and 5 assists this season, led by B. Leroux (2G). Minnesota United FC's starters account for 13 goals and 2 assists, spearheaded by K. Yeboah (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

San Jose Earthquakes deploy 3 defenders rated 6.78 on average, against Minnesota United FC's 5-man backline averaging 6.74. 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

San Jose Earthquakes field 4 midfielders averaging 6.99, versus Minnesota United FC's 3 rated 6.73. 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

San Jose Earthquakes start 3 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Minnesota United FC 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 79% for San Jose Earthquakes and 83% for Minnesota United FC. 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

San Jose Earthquakes's starters have collected 7 yellow cards this season, compared to 16 for Minnesota United FC. 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 San Jose Earthquakes's starting XI is 27.8 (youngest: B. Leroux (22), oldest: D. Romney (32)), while Minnesota United FC average 27.9 (youngest: B. Hlongwane (25), oldest: M. Boxall (37)). 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

San Jose Earthquakes's starters average 12 league appearances each, versus 12 for Minnesota United FC. 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.
