Scout report
O. Mendoza is a 37-year-old central defender at Club Queretaro, rated 11.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 97 on scout potential in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (60.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendoza.
Judged on this season alone, Mendoza graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 23 of the 23 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 1.071 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 23rd of 23 of the 23 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 37 Mendoza is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Club Queretaro finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.07 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 37, 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 11.2, Mendoza carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 23 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
