We hold a single season for Hernández, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 31% of the 26 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 21 Hernández is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Al Shabab finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.64 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.9, Hernández carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League (top 31%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Shabab finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
