Enzo Fernández has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most productive chance creators, with a new statistic highlighting his influence in the final third.
According to WhoScored, only Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has created more chances from open play than Fernández across the last three Premier League seasons.
Bruno Fernandes leads the ranking with 146 chances created, while Fernández follows with 117.
The figures underline the Chelsea midfielder’s growing influence as a creative force in English football. Despite operating primarily from midfield, Fernández has consistently contributed to his team’s attacking play through his passing, vision and ability to create opportunities for teammates.
The 117 chances created from open play place Fernández ahead of a number of established Premier League creators during the three-season period.
The statistic also highlights the different creative roles played by the two midfielders. Bruno Fernandes has long been one of Manchester United’s principal attacking creators, while Fernández has combined his creative responsibilities with his work in midfield.
Fernández’s overall Premier League numbers also demonstrate his involvement in Chelsea’s attack. StatMuse records him with 67 total chances created during the 2025/26 Premier League season. (StatMuse)
With Fernández now beginning a new chapter following his move from Chelsea to Manchester City, his creative numbers will be closely watched as he looks to make an impact in another Premier League midfield.
The comparison with Bruno Fernandes provides another indication of just how influential Fernández has been in creating opportunities in the Premier League.
