Clean sheets

2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Outlook

Rated 45.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~11), then tapers with age. At 21, Mendes sits on 9.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Mendes's projected Rating — 45.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
