Squad depthDefensive midfielder

M. McGuane is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Huddersfield, rated 31.3 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGuane.

On the season, McGuane graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.508 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31. At 27 McGuane is in his prime years, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: McGuane missed 6 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.9% 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 31.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
