On long-term talent our Rating reads 1. At 29 Méndez is in his prime years, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 4 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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.
Rated 0.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 29, Méndez sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Méndez's projected Rating — 0.9 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.
