T. Paulo da Silva is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Seraing United, rated 40.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 124th of 238 on scout potential in the Challenger Pro League and 1810th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.

Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.437 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 31st of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 21 Silva is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30% 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 40.1, Silva carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 54 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
