Scout report

Solid contributorCentre-forward

André Silva is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Sao Paulo, rated 49.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 166th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 44 — a strong campaign that ranks top 21% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances (0.443 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 44). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 36% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 29 Silva is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Silva missed 18 games through injury (knee, cruciate ligament stretch, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.

5 goals in 20 appearances (0.25 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.9, Silva carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A (top 36%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
