Clean sheets

2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 9 goals and 21 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 89.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.88 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.62 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 55 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~110), then tapers with age. At 31, Fernandes sits on 49.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Fernandes's projected Rating — 55 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
