Clean sheets

4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Availability. On the pitch for 64.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.7, McCart carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 19 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 29, McCart sits on 6.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is McCart's projected Rating — 32.7 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.
