After getting a taste of the I-League in 2016-17, the former Air India footballer fitted quite well in the Mohun Bagan line-up in CFL. However, bigger challenges await as Sanjoy Sen is keen on regularly fielding the 21-year-old in Bagan’s promising midfield.

He has the capability to put the strikers through on goal, a trait which the fans would love to see on display as often as possible. Fernandes can also take control of the midfield if Sony Norde ventures into the opposition box at regular intervals.

East Bengal players have faced Fernandes in CFL and they would definitely try to keep the ball away from him as the midfielder can create a magical pass from nowhere.
