Judged on this season alone, Taylor graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances (0.398 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 26). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 38th of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Taylor is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
