Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

Vivaldo Semedo is a 21-year-old centre-forward at Watford, rated 63.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 153rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship and 516th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Semedo.

Judged on this season alone, Semedo graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 26 appearances (0.597 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 13). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 31% of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 21 Semedo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 26 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 63.3, Semedo carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 goal contributions 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
