6 clean sheets in 18 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.5, Mele carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primera A (top 40%). A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 28, Mele sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mele's projected Rating — 17.5 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.
