Wrexham Squawka Score ratings 2026/27
Four draws in eight games have left Wrexham 14th, a season on from missing the play-offs by a single point. Phil Parkinson’s side have lost only twice, but nine goals scored is a meagre return and 12 conceded means the margins keep going against them. Below, we take a look at Wrexham’s most-used XI so far and how each player has performed, based on the Squawka Score rating system.
The Squawka Score is a metric developed to assess a player’s performance relative to other players in the same position. It is shown as a percentage, and it is worth knowing that 66% is average rather than 50% – a 70% is a good afternoon and 85% or above marks out one of the best players on the pitch. Each score is calculated from a range of per-90-minute statistics, taking in the obvious numbers such as goals and assists alongside some more obscure ones that are far more position-specific. A player’s season figure is simply the average of his match ratings.
One note on the Championship: the division does not carry expected-goals data, so these ratings are built on volume and quality of actions – shots, big chances, duels, clearances, passes into the box – rather than xG and xA.
GK: Anthony Patterson – 66% – Twenty-two saves, two clean sheets and a club-leading 53 progressive passes from every available minute. Patterson has been reliable without being asked to produce anything spectacular.
RWB: Danny Imray – 61% – A goal and two assists from five starts, with 20 touches in the opposition box. Imray offers a genuine attacking threat from right wing-back and the rate in 376 minutes is better than the rating suggests.
RCB: Zak Vyner – 59% – Twenty-seven clearances and 17 possessions regained in his own third from five starts. Vyner has done the basics without adding anything, and the 59% is the lowest of the back three.
CB: Dominic Hyam – 61% – Fifty-one clearances leads the club, with nine interceptions and two clean sheets from seven starts. Three yellow cards is the only real criticism of a solid season in the middle of the three.
LCB: Callum Doyle – 70% – By some distance the most complete player in the side. Fourteen interceptions, 78 passes into the final third, 22 possessions regained in his own third, eight blocked shots and six chances created all lead the club, and he has added a goal, 46 duels won and 25 aerials from every available minute. An outstanding season from a ball-playing centre-back.
LWB: Jacques Ekomié – 63% – Two goals and a club-leading nine tackles won from five starts, with 43 duels won. Ekomié has been productive at both ends when available.
RCM: Matty James – 68% – Thirty-three passes into the penalty area and 15 corners, both club highs, from only four starts. James raises the quality of Wrexham’s delivery whenever he plays.
LCM: Benjamin Whiteman – 64% – Seventy-three passes into the final third and a club-leading 25 possessions regained in the middle third, with 45 progressive passes and an assist. Eight occasions beaten one-on-one and 10 fouls are the costs of the ground he covers.
RAM: Oliver Rathbone – 61% – Five chances created, eight tackles won and four completed take-ons from four starts. Rathbone has worked hard without producing much end product from the right of the two.
LAM: Lewis O’Brien – 70% – An assist, six chances created and two clear-cut from six starts, with 75 passes into the final third and 11 corners. O’Brien has been Wrexham’s most inventive attacking midfielder.
ST: Kieffer Moore – 73% – Three goals from a club-high 13 shots with eight on target, plus 27 aerial duels won, 49 duels won and 25 touches in the opposition box, all club-leading figures. At 34, Moore is carrying the attack almost single-handedly.
Wrexham’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Josh Windass
- Free-kicks: Callum Doyle, Oliver Rathbone
- Corners: Matty James, Lewis O’Brien
Matty James has taken 15 of Wrexham’s corners to Lewis O’Brien’s 11. Callum Doyle has had one of the direct free-kicks. Wrexham are yet to be awarded a penalty, so Josh Windass’ status as the taker is inherited rather than proven.
