Why Bruno Fernandes Is Underrated.
Manchester United Playmaker Bruno fernandes has been under alot of heat from rival fans for not being good enough, but we at abokimusic think he is underrated and here is why.
Fernandes Is A Consistent Player, Has A Fantastic Attitude, Functions Well in an Aggressive Pressing system Significantly More Effectively and he is a versatile player.#mufc
He Produces Fantastic Output Better than some other Creative Midfielders In Europes Top 5 Leagues, And To Judge This We are going to talk about his XAG (expected Assist).
Bruno Fernandes Ranks Second After Kevin De Bruyne, With Both Recording An XAG of Around 0.5 Per 90mins, That means in the past season and the half in the Premier league, Fernandes Creates A Great Value of chances per 90min than messi or griezmann.And Also Other Premier league competitors like Maddison and Trent Alexander Arnold.
In Regards To his FBREF when compared to other attacking midfielders in the Premier league This Season Fernandes Completes A High volume of short and medium passes and Long Passes Ranking in the 90th percentiles for all those metrics, as seen below
This Might Surprise Alot Of people who associate bruno Fernandes with being an inaccurate long passer of the ball. I actually think he is a very good long passer.
But because Ten Hags Attack Is Dependent On Transitioning the attack Quickly, He is almost been encouraged to play those high risk long passes because if the timing of the pass and run of the forward are both in sync it can pay off massively especially against a team like Villa.
Fernandes Creativity is what makes him so good you can see this from his progressive passing and chance creating metrics being comfortably in the top 5 In europe percent. as seen below;
In Conclusion Bruno Fernandes Is A fantastic Creator Unlike What People Tag Him To Be.#mufc
