Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 27 Ricardo is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ricardo missed 5 games through injury (injury, inflammation in the knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 7 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.
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Rated 32.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 27, Ricardo sits on 24.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ricardo's projected Rating — 32.2 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.
