Squad depthCentral defender

J. Mendy is a 29-year-old central defender at Peterborough, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendy.

On the season, Mendy graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.315 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 29 Mendy is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
