A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.58 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendieta.
On the season, Mendieta graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.576 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 6).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 33 Mendieta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Asteras Tripolis finished 14th of 14 · a relegation-threatened side
2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
