Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 52). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, 31st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 28 Mukiele is in his prime years, and a market index of 62.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mukiele missed 5 games through injury (injury, torn muscle fibre, calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.
A career still climbing — Mukiele is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 69, Mukiele carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~104), then tapers with age. At 28, Mukiele sits on 62.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mukiele's projected Rating — 69 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.
