GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
J. McAtee rates solid: an attacking midfielder whose value is held back by an uncertain starting role and the lower competition around him, even as he continues to develop toward his peak years after his best spell at Sheffield Utd. His form is slipping.
