João Silva is a 27-year-old central defender at Sport Recife, rated 44.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 219th of 427 in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.
Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 1 clean sheet and 2.375 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 39th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Silva is in his prime years, and a market index of 58.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 44.4, Silva carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 72 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 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 (~59), then tapers with age. At 27, Silva sits on 58.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 44.4 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.
