Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendonça.
Judged on this season alone, Mendonça graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.79 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 16). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 24th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 23 Mendonça is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 56.9 reflects that trajectory.
Mendonça is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.
With a Rating of 53.7, Mendonça carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (AVS finished 18th 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 solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~57), then tapers with age. At 23, Mendonça sits on 56.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mendonça's projected Rating — 53.7 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.
