Ridiculous speed for a fullback. Nuno Mendes is the type of LB who can recover even after being caught slightly out of position.

He’s not just a “run down the line and cross blindly” fullback. His passing is clean and reliable, especially in short build-up plays.

This is underrated but crucial. His reactions help him respond quickly to loose balls, deflections, and sudden skill moves from wingers.

High/High Work Rates, Massive plus. He constantly moves up and down the pitch, contributing both offensively and defensively.

Solid tackling, good positioning, and dependable interceptions. Against top-tier wingers, he holds his own comfortably.

Strong enough to not get bullied easily. He can shoulder attackers off the ball and hold ground in duels.

Acrobatic Clearance Trait, this trait actually shows up in clutch moments. When the ball is bouncing dangerously in the box, he’ll pull off those dramatic clearances that prevent easy tap-ins.
