Output in context · Al-Ittihad FC finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.1, Fernandes carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Pro League (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
