Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 28 → 40). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 6% of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 23 McGlynn is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: McGlynn missed 6 games through injury (international duty, lower-body) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
A career still climbing — McGlynn is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
6 goals in 26 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 9 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.58 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 75.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.6, McGlynn carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 6%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15) — 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 genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
