Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 35). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 38th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Tavares is in his prime years, and a market index of 41 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tavares missed 5 games through injury (calf, foot, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 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 — Tavares is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 23 appearances.
With a Rating of 66.2, Tavares carries the 38th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~41), then tapers with age. At 26, Tavares sits on 41, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tavares's projected Rating — 66.2 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.
