Scout report
Rúben Semedo is a 32-year-old central defender at AVS, rated 18.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 300th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.84 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 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 1 clean sheet and 1.841 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 50th of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 32 Semedo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · AVS finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 18.7, Semedo carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 56 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
