Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

Nathan Fernandes is a 21-year-old winger at Botafogo, rated 67.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.53 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fernandes.

On the season, Fernandes graded 15 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 2 assists in 10 appearances (0.787 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 15). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67. At 21 Fernandes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fernandes missed 21 games through injury (arm, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 10 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 10 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.53 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions 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.
