An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernandes.
Judged on this season alone, Fernandes graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 16 of the 16 defensive midfielders in the USL Championship, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.792 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 8).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 11th of 16 of the 16 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 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sacramento Republic finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17, Fernandes carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the USL Championship of 16. 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).
