J. Fernández is a 22-year-old winger at New York City FC, rated 42.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 83rd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1608th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (42.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.3 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernández.

Judged on this season alone, Fernández graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 35 of the 35 wingers in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 5 assists in 35 appearances (0.486 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 20). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 20% of the 35 wingers in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Fernández is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
