On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 13th of 17 of the 17 defensive midfielders in the USL Championship. At 30 Fernandes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.
With a Rating of 17, Fernandes carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the USL Championship of 17. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Fernandes sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Fernandes's projected Rating — 17 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.
