On long-term talent our Rating reads 74. At 22 Lavia is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 84.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lavia missed 22 games through injury (thigh, muscle bruise, knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 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 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Chelsea finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.3/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 74.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
