Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 20). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, 23rd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 24 Fernández is in his prime years, and a market index of 42 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fernández missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Bayer Leverkusen finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 70.3, Fernández carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
