Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

D. McNamara is a 27-year-old central defender at Charlton, rated 47.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 150th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (37.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McNamara.

Judged on this season alone, McNamara graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 2.542 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 30th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 27 McNamara is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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.

  • Game time. Only 37.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.5, McNamara carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
