Martim Fernandes is a 20-year-old full-back at FC Porto, rated 62.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 51st of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga and 164th of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (40.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.18 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 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 8 clean sheets and 4.182 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 39). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 17% of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 20 Fernandes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 21.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fernandes missed 3 games through injury (torn lateral knee ligament) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.9, Fernandes carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 17%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
