Minutes

14 clean sheets in 45 appearances (31% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 96.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.6, MacGillivray carries the 22nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 33. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 33, MacGillivray sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is MacGillivray's projected Rating — 15.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
