Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61. At 26 Nelson is in his prime years, and a market index of 73.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Nelson missed 3 games through injury (loan agreement, calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 10 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
