Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 44). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 43rd of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Escobar is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Escobar missed 3 games through injury and 1 suspension (yellow cards, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
