Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 65 → 76). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, 28th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Guimarães is in his prime years, and a market index of 85.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Guimarães missed 6 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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 — Guimarães is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
