Clean sheets

5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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

Defensive volume. 5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 22, Mendes sits on 6.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Mendes's projected Rating — 37 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.
