League Two served up another gripping weekend, with standout performances and crucial results shaping both the promotion race and relegation battle. From midfield control to veteran brilliance, here are the five highest-rated players who defined the action.

Kieran Green (Grimsby Town) - 9.4

Kieran Green delivered a standout midfield display as Grimsby cruised to a 4-1 win over Gillingham, earning the second-highest WhoScored rating of his career.

He was at the heart of everything good his side produced, influencing the game at both ends with real control and efficiency.

Going forward, Green was outstanding. He finished with a goal and two assists, while also creating 3 key chances for his teammates. His ball carrying added another dimension, completing 3 of his 4 dribbles, and he remained a threat himself with 2 shots on target.

His work off the ball matched his attacking output. He made 6 recoveries, added 2 clearances, and won 7 of his 11 duels, constantly breaking up play and regaining possession.

Green now has 12 goals and 6 assists for the season, and this latest display continues a strong run of form. He has recorded his second and third highest career ratings within the last month, hitting top levels at the perfect time as Grimsby push for the Play-Offs.

Albert Adomah (Walsall) - 8.9

At 38 years old, Albert Adomah proved that experience and quality transcend age as he delivered a Man of the Match performance in Walsall's commanding 3-1 victory over relegation-threatened Barrow.

The Ghana international opened the scoring to end a frustrating run of 6 matches without a goal, reasserting his importance to Walsall's push up the table.

He was sharp and efficient throughout. Adomah hit 2 shots on target, completed 100% of his dribbles, and created 2 key chances.

He also contributed defensively with 5 actions and 5 recoveries, showing his all-round involvement.

Physically, he more than held his own, winning 6 of his 7 duels. This 8.9 rating is his second-highest of the season, only behind his 9.3 display against Crewe, and suggests he is finding form at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Mason Hancock (Walsall) - 8.7

Adomah's teammate Mason Hancock joined him in the Team of the Week, delivering a left-back performance that showcased both attacking threat and defensive solidity in Walsall's victory.

The defender scored a brace, including a spectacular free kick from the edge of the box that proved instrumental in securing all three points.

Hancock's defensive contributions were equally important to his goal-scoring exploits. He made 4 clearances, 3 tackles, and 1 interception to form a solid rearguard action against Barrow's threats.

His attacking output extended beyond his two goals, as he registered 2 key passes to create opportunities for his teammates.

This career-best 8.7 rating reflects a complete performance from a player who has developed into a genuine attacking force from his position.

Kelland Watts (Cambridge United) - 8.3

Kelland Watts was immense in Cambridge's defensive masterclass against league leaders Bromley, playing a pivotal role in securing a stalemate that maintains the U's impressive clean sheet record.

The defender's work rate was extraordinary, accumulating 16 defensive contributions in what proved to be a gruelling battle.

His defensive output was exceptional, with 14 clearances alone, a figure that placed him among just three players across the entire league this gameweek to exceed that total.

He also added 1 interception and 1 blocked shot, rounding off a relentless defensive shift.

Beyond that workload at the back, Watts still contributed in other phases. He won 5 of his 9 duels and provided 1 key pass going forward, along with 1 shot on target as he looked to add impact in attack when possible.

Cambridge’s 18th clean sheet of the season highlights their collective defensive strength, having conceded just 31 goals all campaign.

Matthew Cox (Shrewsbury Town) - 8.2

Matthew Cox delivered a commanding performance in goal as Shrewsbury earned a hard-fought 0-0 draw against relegation rivals Crawley, securing a valuable clean sheet in a tense encounter.

He was heavily involved throughout, making 5 saves in total, with 3 coming from inside the box where the pressure was at its highest.

His shot-stopping proved decisive in keeping Crawley out, especially in key moments when the game opened up.

Cox also showed real authority in dealing with crosses and second balls, claiming 5 high balls to control his area in a match filled with set-piece pressure.

His sweeping presence stood out as well, registering 13 recoveries as he acted almost like an extra defender behind the back line.

He won 100% of his duels, underlining his complete command of his box. This clean sheet was his 6th in 18 games, and with back-to-back shutouts now building momentum, he is playing a key role as Shrewsbury look to steady themselves in a tight League Two survival battle.
