Clean sheets

3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.

Outlook

Rated 35.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 26, Silva sits on 8.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 35.4 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.
