J. McClean is a full-back at Wrexham (68 overall, LB) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 36 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. McClean have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: stamina (81) and crossing (70). That very good stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: acceleration (58). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 325 K€, with 18 K€ in wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
