Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.2, McCann carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 23 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
