In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McWilliams.
Judged on this season alone, McWilliams graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.763 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 42nd of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 27 McWilliams is in his prime years, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 35.1, McWilliams carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.76 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.
