Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 11).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 13th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 26 Silva is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
Silva is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36, Silva carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 20 — though on just 32 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 26, Silva sits on 8.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 36 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
