2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandes posted a solid inaugural EPL season in 2024/25. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder joined Saints from Sporting at the start of the season, he was unable to break into the starting lineup there and spent the 2023/24 season on loan to Estoril Praia. His attacking statistics from 2024/25 do not represent the high work rate he exhibited on the field; from 36 appearances (34 starts) he netted two and provided four assists, but he consistently showed strength in long crosses, high pressing and tackling (2.5 per game). He was starved of service and support last season but he will have a good chance to ratchet up a better goal tally in the Championship as he and his teammates faces second tier competition.
Scores late goal in FA Cup
F/MWest Ham United
April 6, 2026
Fernandes scored one goal to go with 10 crosses and five tackles (three won) in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout loss against Leeds United.
ANALYSIS
Fernandes dragged West Ham back into the tie in the 93rd minute, crashing home the rebound after Jarrod Bowen's shot hit the post off an Adama Traore setup and slotting it in to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the first of two stoppage-time goals that sent the match to extra time. He ended his 120-minute shift with one goal, one shot and one chance created. Fernandes also made his presence felt on set pieces and with his defensive work in midfield, racking up a season-high 10 crosses and five tackles to cap off his performance.
