Scout report
Rui Silva is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Sporting CP, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 32 appearances, a Season grade of 59, top 13% of Primeira Liga goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 33.9, ranking 277th of 317 in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (94.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.
Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 59 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 24 goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga, on 14 clean sheets across 32 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 38 → 59). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 20th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga. At 32 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Silva is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
14 clean sheets in 32 appearances (44% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 94.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 33.9, Silva carries the 20th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga of 24. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
