Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 8th of 18 of the 18 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Fernandes is in his prime years, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · RB Bragantino finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.7, Fernandes carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 18 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
