Squad depthCentre-forward

André Silva is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Elche, rated 45.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 294th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (57.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 39 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga, on 10 goals and 0 assists in 31 appearances (0.484 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 33rd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 30 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 21.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

10 goals in 31 appearances (0.32 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (15th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.4% 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 45.2, Silva carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 44, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Elche finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.48 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
