Judged on this season alone, Méndez graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 5 clean sheets and 7.515 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 30). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 76th of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 30 Méndez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lanus finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
7.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 7.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.5, Méndez carries the 76th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 97. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
