Clean sheets

2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9, McFadzean carries the 66th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
