Scout report
J. McAtee is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Nottingham Forest, rated 69.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McAtee.
On the season, McAtee graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.075 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70. At 23 McAtee is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 83.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 9.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 69.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
