Output in context · Junior finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24, Mendoza carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
