Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 55 → 52). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 85, top 3% of the 36 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga. At 24 Rômulo is in his prime years, and a market index of 51.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rômulo missed 3 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 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.
