How do you get the best out of Sean McCarthy?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: acceleration (60) and top speed (59). Their acceleration is a bit short and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their weak points: crossing (44) and reading of the game (48). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 118 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 50 with a ceiling of 60 — that's +10 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
