Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 14). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.3, Fernando carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 14 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
