Matheus Fernandes is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at RB Bragantino, rated 43.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 427 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.67 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 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.669 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 27th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Fernandes is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fernandes missed 9 games through injury (calf, yellow cards, inactive) out of roughly 38 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 43.4, Fernandes carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~57), then tapers with age. At 28, Fernandes sits on 34.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Fernandes's projected Rating — 43.4 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.
