Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 59th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 34 Dunk is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 19.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dunk missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
