Squad depthCentral midfielder

T. Paulo da Silva is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Seraing United, rated 39.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 103rd of 183 on scout potential in the Challenger Pro League and 1036th of 1772 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 46 of the 46 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.437 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 23rd of 46 of the 46 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 22 Silva is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.4, Silva carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 46 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
