Luiz Fernando, a left winger who can also ply his trade as a left midfielder, right winger, or striker for Atlético GO in Brazil's Série A, seems to have matured in his playing during the 2024 season. His experience and adaptability are underlined by his remarkable goal efficiency, which sits in the top echelons at 96.67%, indicating a superb knack for turning his opportunities into tangible ends. His goals per 90 minutes tally, ranking at 86.67%, further underscores his finishing prowess. Beyond isolation, he displays significant threats through goal (70%) and showcases a certain aptitude in progressive passing (73.33%) and progressive carrying (66.67%) – pillars to create spaces and advancing play forward. However, intuition should avoid jumping to the conclusion that Fernando is a flawless player; when it comes to ball retention (23.33%) and chance creation (16.67%), his game presents critical shortcomings. The underwhelming pass accuracy per 90 (26.67%) and successful dribbles per 90 (23.33%) reveal a struggle in the face of immense pressure, which result in frequent dispossession per 90 (33.33%). In sum, if Fernando can address these technical shortcomings, he fully embodies the potential to be a frontline assailant in the Série A, weaving through the smallest of seams and, most importantly, finding the back of the net with consistent precision.
