Goals / app

7 goals in 20 appearances (0.35 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.55 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 7.8, Fernández carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera División of 40. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
