On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.6, ranking 244th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (70.2% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Sá graded 35 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 5 goals, 1 assist and 1.918 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 35). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 41st of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 32 Sá is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sá missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • 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 15.6, Sá carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 49. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
