Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

Nathan Fernandes is a 21-year-old centre-forward at Ludogorets, rated 58.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (2.9% of available minutes). He brings 1.15 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 1.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernandes.

On the season, Fernandes graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 4 appearances (1.154 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59. At 21 Fernandes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fernandes missed 21 games through injury (arm, thigh) out of roughly 37 this season. The 4 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.

0 goals in 4 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.15 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 1.15 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.15 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
