Scout report
J. McGinn is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 50.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 305th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (80.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGinn.
Judged on this season alone, McGinn graded 42 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 30 appearances (0.373 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 33 → 42). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 65th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 McGinn is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 37.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: McGinn missed 8 games through injury (knee, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
