Scout report
Luís Silva is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Academico Viseu, rated 13 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 93rd of 108 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 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 12 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 20 central midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 18th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 33 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Academico Viseu finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13, Silva carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 20 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
