Output in context · Celta Vigo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.1, Fernández carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 28 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
