Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.4, Mendoza carries the 66th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera Nacional of 108, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Defensores De Belgrano finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
