Experienced headCentral midfielder

Ismael Silva Lima is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Akhmat, rated 15.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 147th of 157 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (61.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lima.

Judged on this season alone, Lima graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.491 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 27th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Lima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.3, Lima carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
