Output in context · U.N.A.M. - Pumas finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.9, Silva carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
