Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55. At 24 Tavares is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tavares missed 15 games through injury (inactive, knee, unfit) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 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 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 55.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
