How do you get the best out of António Silva?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender and Wide back, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is strength (83), jumping (83) and tackling (81). Their strength is notable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 34,8 M€ with 18 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 78 with a ceiling of 86 — that's +8 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
