Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central midfielder

A. Mendel is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Baltika, rated 15 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 249th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (48.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendel.

Judged on this season alone, Mendel graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.449 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 43rd of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Mendel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mendel missed 12 games through injury (injury, wound, shoulder) out of roughly 30 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 15, Mendel carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 49 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
