Goals / app

14 goals in 34 appearances (0.41 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (3rd of 18). He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 20 goal contributions (0.59 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.81 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.7, Fernández carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga MX of 42. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.81 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
