Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 75th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Zimmerman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Zimmerman missed 10 games through injury (concussion, international duty) out of roughly 37 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
