7 goals in 10 appearances (0.7 per game) for an upper-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.7 goal contributions per 90 (0.7 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.8 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.2, McCann carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 12 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.7 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
