Lucas Fernandes is a versatile central midfielder whose impact has not translated into standout performances this season, reflected in his Sofascore rating placing him in the bottom 32% of his positional peers. While he offers some utility in midfield, his contributions to both defense and attack have been limited, and he struggles significantly with defensive clearances. Moreover, his injury history raises concerns about reliability, having missed a substantial number of games over the past three seasons.
Availability: 30 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
