Outlook

With a Rating of 18.4, McCoulsky carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 75, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Harrogate Town finished 23rd of 24) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 29, McCoulsky sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is McCoulsky's projected Rating — 18.4 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.
