Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 38th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 26 Key is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Key missed 5 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 46 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
