Clean sheets

4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.1% 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 31.1, McEachran carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two (top 24%). 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.
