Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.
Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Liga I, on 4 clean sheets and 5.619 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 18).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 47th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Liga I. At 30 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Silva is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
5.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 16.3, Silva carries the 47th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga I of 61. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Silva sits on 2.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 16.3 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.
