Scout report

McDermott is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Burnley, rated 31.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 232nd of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 1442nd of 1759 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (57.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McDermott.
Judged on this season alone, McDermott graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 53 of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.469 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 14).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 47th of 53 of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship. At 21 McDermott is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Burnley finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.2% 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 31.8, McDermott carries the 47th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Burnley finished 22nd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
