Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 63.9, Silva carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 8%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~68), then tapers with age. At 22, Silva sits on 64.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 63.9 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.
