Francis Fernandes is one of the six nominees for the Fans' Player of the Year award in the FPAI Indian Football Awards 2012. Fernandes has been a mainstay in Salgaocar’s midfield throughout this campaign. His exemplary work rate and consistency has seen him turnout 21 times for the Goan side scoring 3 goals in the league.
