Squad depthCentre-forward

D. McGuire is a 25-year-old centre-forward at Houston Dynamo, rated 38.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 249th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.21 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGuire.

Judged on this season alone, McGuire graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 27 appearances (0.205 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 27th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 25 McGuire is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.2 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 27 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.4, McGuire carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 58. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
