Outlook

With a Rating of 21.9, Silva carries the 14th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligat Ha'al of 18 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Silva sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 21.9 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.
