Santos's current-season form is up 220% on last season (Season 5→16), while his Rating climbed 67→70. His peak season for form remains 2023/24 (Season 58).
Tiago Santos is a 23-year-old full-back at Lille, rated 69.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 152nd of 324 in the Ligue 1. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
Judged on this season alone, Santos graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.476 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, 27th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 23 Santos is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 113.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santos missed 6 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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.
With a Rating of 69.9, Santos carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 61 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~113), then tapers with age. At 23, Santos sits on 113.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 69.9 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.
