Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 34 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 80, top 8% of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 24 Williams is in his prime years, and a market index of 52.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Williams missed 13 games through injury (groin, hamstring, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
