Squad depthCentral midfielder

Diogo Filipe Spencer Marques is a 22-year-old central midfielder at AVS, rated 56.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 14th of 76 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga and 261st of 1777 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (41.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marques.

Judged on this season alone, Marques graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.714 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 21). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, top 20% of the 20 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 22 Marques is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.1, Marques carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga (top 20%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (AVS finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 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.
