Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 31st of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 28 Talbi is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Talbi missed 4 games through injury (calf, international duty) out of roughly 34 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
