On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 71st of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 37 Mena is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 7.7, Mena carries the 71st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 87. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).

Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 37, Mena sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mena's projected Rating — 7.7 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.
