Scout report
Yannick Semedo is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Farense, rated 20.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 83rd of 108 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Semedo.
Judged on this season alone, Semedo graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.145 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 6). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 6th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 30 Semedo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Semedo is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Farense finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.8% 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 20.5, Semedo carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 8 — though on just 31 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
