Read the appearance count in context: Rivera missed 4 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 35 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.

In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~92), then tapers with age. At 24, Rivera sits on 92.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Rivera's projected Rating — 72.2 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.
