Ansu Fati, currently on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, believes that Manchester City player Josko Gvardiol is better than Enzo Fernandez. Fernandez, who was signed by Chelsea for a record fee in 2023, has made 62 appearances for the club, while Gvardiol was signed by City in the previous summer transfer window and has played 35 games, contributing two goals and two assists. Fati made this comparison in a blind ranking video on the Pro Direct Soccer TikTok channel.

Statistically, Gvardiol has outperformed Fernandez in the Premier League this season, with a higher overall performance rating of 6.87/10 compared to Fernandez’s 6.75/10. This suggests that Gvardiol, despite being younger and less experienced in the league, has had a better season than Fernandez. Fati’s ranking of Gvardiol above Fernandez is supported by these numbers and sheds light on the potential and talent of the young defender.

The comparison between Gvardiol and Fernandez highlights the differing trajectories of two young players who made moves to England in recent years. While Fernandez arrived with high expectations and a significant price tag, Gvardiol has quickly established himself as a key player for Manchester City. Fati’s assessment adds an interesting perspective to the debate over the quality and impact of young talents in the Premier League.
