Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 33). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 50th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 34 Cáceres is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cáceres missed 8 games through injury (thigh, muscle, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 — Cáceres is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
