Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 38th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Tavares is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tavares missed 5 games through injury (calf, foot, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 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.
A career still climbing — Tavares is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
