Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

Pedro Ganchas is a 26-year-old central defender at Silkeborg, rated 40.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 79th of 207 on scout potential in the Superliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (88.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ganchas.

Judged on this season alone, Ganchas graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 30 of the 30 centre-backs in the Superliga, on 3 clean sheets and 3.642 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 20% of the 30 centre-backs in the Superliga. At 26 Ganchas is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ganchas missed 3 games through injury (bruised rib, inactive) out of roughly 32 this season. The 29 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.
