On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 11% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 21 McConville is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: McConville missed 3 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 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 — McConville is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.2, McConville carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
