Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

D. McGuire is a 25-year-old centre-forward at Orlando City SC, rated 39.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 164th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGuire.

Judged on this season alone, McGuire graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 64 of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances (0.537 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 20). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 27% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 25 McGuire is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: McGuire missed 10 games through injury (shoulder, injured) out of roughly 35 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

3 goals in 19 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.3, McGuire carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 64 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.54 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
