Judged on this season alone, Neymar graded 51 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 8 goals and 1 assist in 20 appearances (0.528 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 51). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 49th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 34 Neymar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Neymar missed 15 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring, thigh, knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
