Scout report
Fernando is a 39-year-old defensive midfielder at Internacional, rated 5.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernando.
On the season, Fernando graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.13 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 39 Fernando is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Internacional finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 12.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
