Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mec.

We hold a single season for Mec, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 17% of the 6 wingers in the Primeira Liga. At 18 Mec is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 19.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 69.5, Mec carries the 1st-highest potential of the wingers in the Primeira Liga of 6 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
