O. Hernández is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Port Vale, rated 9.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernández.
On the season, Hernández graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.547 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10. At 33 Hernández is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hernández missed 7 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 9 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 9.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 33, Hernández sits on 2.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hernández's projected Rating — 9.6 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.
