2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandez ended year three on a high, coming off his best statistical season and helping Chelsea secure a European trophy. He posted a career-best six goals and seven assists, showing clear growth in the attack. He also took a larger role of set pieces, something that seems to change by the game with Chelsea. When pushed forward in the formation, his numbers received a notable boost, but as long as he's a defensive midfielder next to Moises Caicedo, his numbers may never truly pop more than the 13 goal contributions he had last season.
Ruled out against Forest
Fernandez (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest due to a minor issue, coach Enzo Maresca confirmed to the media, according to Simon Johnson from The Athletic. "It is not a big concern. He is out for an injury but hopefully can be back very soon."
ANALYSIS
Fernandez has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Forest as he continues to deal with a knee issue. The midfielder missed the recent international match against Puerto Rico and was unable to return to full training in time. He had been deputizing as a number 10 in the absence of Cole Palmer (groin), who is still sidelined for at least six more weeks. Andrey Santos is the one starting in the attacking midfield while they are out.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Real Madrid monitoring status
Real Madrid are keeping close tabs on Fernandez, according to TBR Football.
ANALYSIS
Real Madrid have been keeping tabs on Fernandez for quite some time, although it's hard to see a scenario in which Chelsea will be open to parting ways with the 24-year-old Argentina international. Fernandez is one of the club's captains, and he's an integral piece of the team's long-term project. Real Madrid are expected to launch an offer in the summer of 2026, but it'd take a mammoth effort for the Blues to even consider it.
