Scout report
C. McVey is a 29-year-old central defender at San Diego, rated 26.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 358th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (64.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McVey.
Judged on this season alone, McVey graded 23 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 3.109 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 83rd of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 McVey is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · San Diego finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.7, McVey carries the 83rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
