Despite playing for a team who are close to relegation, he\u2019s really impressed this season, especially since he took up a more creative role after Lucas Paqueta left in January.<\/p>\n He\u2019s got 6 G\/A in 31 starts in the Premier League, and FotMob have him down with a really impressive average rating of 7.22.<\/p>\n You can see his broad stats compared to Premier League midfielders in the table here:<\/p>\n Metric<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/th>\n Percentile<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n Touches<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 64%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Shot attempts<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 42%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Goals<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 71%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Chances created<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 73%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Aerial duels won<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 24%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Defensive contributions<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 70%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As you can see, he\u2019s a really well rounded player. He\u2019s in the top third of the league in chances created AND defensive contributions.<\/p>\n Just imagine how those numbers would look if he was playing for a top team who dominate the ball? His aerial duels numbers aren\u2019t great, but he\u2019s the same height as Enzo Fernandez so could certainly improve them with some good coaching.<\/p>\n Fernandes would be a great replacement for almost namesake Enzo should the latter leave for Real Madrid in the summer.<\/p>\n Alejandro Garnacho is simply not developing at Chelsea, and Joe Cole has been speaking about his fears for the winger.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
