Scout report

Solid contributorCreative Attacking midfielder

J. McGlynn is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Stoke City, rated 50.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 74th of 150 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (85.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.33 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGlynn.

Judged on this season alone, McGlynn graded 37 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 12 of the 12 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals and 5 assists in 18 appearances (0.455 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 40 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 5th of 12 of the 12 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 23 McGlynn is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.5 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.39 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.33 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.37 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.1, McGlynn carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 12, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Stoke City finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
