Clean sheets

4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 28.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 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.

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 26, McEachran sits on 3.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is McEachran's projected Rating — 28.8 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.
