Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56. At 26 Murkin is in his prime years, and a market index of 71.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Murkin missed 3 games through injury (hamstring, inactive) out of roughly 36 this season. The 9 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 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 55.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~71), then tapers with age. At 26, Murkin sits on 71.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Murkin's projected Rating — 55.6 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.
