Scout report
Yannick Semedo is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Farense, rated 20.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 81st of 111 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Semedo.
Judged on this season alone, Semedo graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.145 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 6). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 8th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 30 Semedo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Semedo is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Farense finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.5, Semedo carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 11 — though on just 31 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
