Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 52nd of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the League Two. At 39 McFadzean is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 5.6, McFadzean carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 55 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
