On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.3, ranking 104th of 126 in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (54.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sylla.

Judged on this season alone, Sylla graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 16 of the 16 full-backs in the Super League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 3.135 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 13th of 16 of the 16 full-backs in the Super League 1. At 32 Sylla is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 14) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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, Sylla carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 16, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Asteras Tripolis finished 14th of 14) — 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 (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
