Make Mendy's card →Build XI with shortlist →Share cards ↓Mendy remains the quintessential defensive vacuum, a low-center-of-gravity specialist who has successfully transitioned his Premier League pedigree into a masterclass of Championship disruption. While his counting stats for volume passing appear merely pedestrian at 37.7 per 90, the efficiency tells the real story; he ranks in the top 5% of the league for interceptions (1.96/90), proving he doesn't just chase the game, he anticipates it. Counterintuitively, despite his diminutive stature and poor aerial numbers, his 62.8% duel win rate suggests a player who dominates the physical battle through superior positioning and leverage rather than raw force.
