Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maguire.
On the season, Maguire graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.647 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 3). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 29 Maguire is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Maguire missed 7 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 7 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 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Milton Keynes Dons finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 17.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
