Raúl Fernández is a 38-year-old goalkeeper at Leganes, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 2 appearances, a Season grade of 6. On long-term scout potential he's rated 4.1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernández.

On the season, Fernández graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 38 Fernández is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 2 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 22) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4.1 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
