On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 50th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Riedewald is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Riedewald missed 5 games through injury (hamstring, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
