A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (32.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernández.
On the season, Fernández graded 18 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.068 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 34 Fernández is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cadiz finished 20th of 22 · a relegation-threatened side
3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
