Read the appearance count in context: Palmer missed 8 games through injury (groin, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
10 goals in 26 appearances (0.38 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (10th of 20). Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~177), then tapers with age. At 24, Palmer sits on 177, at or near its peak. The blue line is Palmer's projected Rating — 88.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
