Clean sheets

1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 11 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.49 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 13.5, Silva carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Qingdao Jonoon finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
