Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 41st of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 40.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.8, Silva carries the 41st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
