On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 25th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the Liga I. At 35 Fernandes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 27 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 8.9, Fernandes carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga I of 29. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
