Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 39). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 27th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 27 McGree is in his prime years, and a market index of 30 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: McGree missed 14 games through injury (injury, muscle bruise, muscle) out of roughly 49 this season. The 28 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.
A career still climbing — McGree is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.6, McGree carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
