Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernandes.
Judged on this season alone, Fernandes graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 4 assists in 36 appearances (0.208 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 53 → 30). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 89, top 24% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Fernandes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 101.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3 goals in 36 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.19 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Outlook
With a Rating of 89.3, Fernandes carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 24%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
