Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernando.
Judged on this season alone, Hernando graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets and 3.154 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 39th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 27 Hernando is in his prime years, and a market index of 60.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 51.4, Hernando carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~61), then tapers with age. At 27, Hernando sits on 60.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hernando's projected Rating — 51.4 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.
