Output in context · Motherwell finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 35, 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 18, McGinn carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
