7 clean sheets in 9 appearances (78% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.5, McCracken carries the 5th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 23 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 26, McCracken sits on 13, at or near its peak. The blue line is McCracken's projected Rating — 40.5 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.
