Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 28 → 46). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 81, top 39% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 27 Tavernier is in his prime years, and a market index of 96.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tavernier missed 4 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 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.
