Interceptions

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 91.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 34, Silva sits on 3.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Silva's projected Rating — 26.8 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.
