Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendes.
Judged on this season alone, Mendes graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 4 clean sheets and 2.239 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 26% of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 23 Mendes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
