Scout report

On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.7, ranking 244th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (77.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.85 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 39 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 7% of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 7 clean sheets and 3.847 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 33 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 46th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 32 Semedo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Semedo missed 6 games through injury (injury, knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Fenerbahçe finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 24.7, Semedo carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig of 62. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
