Clean sheets

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 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League (top 25%), 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.
