Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

Fábio Silva is a 24-year-old winger at Borussia Dortmund, rated 75 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 87th of 322 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.87 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.65 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 29 of the 29 wingers in the Bundesliga, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 28 appearances (0.87 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, 16th of 29 of the 29 wingers in the Bundesliga. At 24 Silva is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Silva missed 3 games through injury (muscle bruise) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.87 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.65 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 75, Silva carries the 16th-highest potential of the wingers in the Bundesliga of 29 — though on just 28 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.87 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
