Bernardo Silva
31-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Silva has often been in rumors to leave City, but his versatility and overall health continue to be important for Pep Guardiola, starting 29 of 33 league appearances last season en route to four goals and four assists. However, with him seeing more time centrally and defensively instead of his normal attacking roles, his eight goal contributions were his worst in a season since joining the club in 2017. This is a bit of a worry entering the season considering the bevy of attacking options at City's disposal. Then again, Silva can play anywhere and technically he can also produce from anywhere. Yet, at 31 years old to open the season, his numbers will start to drop at some point, no matter how important he's been for Guardiola.
Brings experience to Portugal
Silva has been named in Portugal's World Cup squad and heads into the tournament with Manchester City behind him after announcing he will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.
ANALYSIS
Silva made 38 Premier League appearances this season, contributing two goals and four assists across 2,887 minutes in what proved to be his farewell campaign at the Etihad, where he spent nine years winning 19 major trophies and making 451 appearances in one of the most decorated periods in the club's history. The midfielder brings a wealth of experience at the very highest level of the game and his ability to find pockets of space, create chances and contribute both defensively and offensively makes him one of the most complete midfielders in the tournament. Silva heads into what could be his final World Cup as one of the most respected and technically gifted players in the competition, and his performances could prove decisive in how far Portugal ultimately go.
