1 clean sheet in 5 appearances (20% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (20th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

Game time. Only 21.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
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

Rated 10.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time 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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, MacGillivray sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is MacGillivray's projected Rating — 10.8 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.
