Clean sheets

2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. 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. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 23, Fernandes sits on 22.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Fernandes's projected Rating — 58.1 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.
