Pedro Mendes

AI Scouting Report

Mendes is a floor-cleaning specialist whose elite peripheral vision masks the physical limitations of a defender stuck in a Tier C side. While his 1.66 interceptions per 90 put him in the league’s top 5%, this isn't the result of frantic lunging; it’s the output of a high-IQ operator who kills attacks before they enter the danger zone. The counterintuitive reality of his profile lies in his 0.55 dribbles per 90; despite playing for a struggling outfit, he ranks in the top 20% for progressive carries, suggesting a composure on the ball that his low passing volume (32.9/90) unfairly suppresses. However, he is a liability in the air, ranking well below the league average for aerial wins, making him a target for direct, physical strikers.
