All Primeira Liga standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Primeira Liga: on the pitch for 100% of Benfica's available minutes this season, up from 6% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Samuel Soares is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Benfica, rated 52.2 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soares.
On the season, Soares graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52. At 24 Soares is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Benfica finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
1 clean sheet in 2 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 52.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
