Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 65 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, top 30% of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 26 Álvarez is in his prime years, and a market index of 84.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Álvarez missed 6 games through injury (ankle, coach's decision) 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
