Impact Fernandes is starting to make an impact for his new club despite coming off the bench in the initial league matchup against Brentford. Coming off a strong offseason run, the midfielder created the chance that led to one of his side's five goals in the midweek clash by crossing from the right flank, and he also stood out as a set-piece taker. If that continues to be the case, he could share corner kick duties with Pedro Porro throughout the season while retaining all-around value in a central spot. With the manager planning to use him in both attacking and defensive roles, the Portuguese may soon take more playing time away from Lucas Bergvall and Conor Gallagher.

Impact Fernandes had impressed in his first two outings since his move from West Ham, scoring a volley in a win over MK Dons before coming on in the 62nd minute of a win over Auckland FC. His absence had initially sparked concern after he was seen on the sidelines during a training session, though the club's approach appears rooted in managing minutes rather than injury. Tottenham were hit hard by injuries last season during a relegation fight that stretched to the final day, making manager Roberto De Zerbi's cautious handling of the squad a deliberate priority this preseason. Fernandes is expected to return to the squad for the club's next preseason fixture.
