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.

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 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Silva is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
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.
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).
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 33, Silva sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 13 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.
