Pros

Mendes is one of the fastest full-backs, easily catching up to attackers and making overlapping runs effortlessly.

His standing tackles are strong and precise, and his marking ability makes him highly reliable in defensive situations.

Reads the game exceptionally well, consistently cutting passing lanes and making crucial interceptions.

His short and long passes are accurate, while his crossing creates dangerous chances in the box.

At 5'11", he has solid strength for duels and aerial battles, while his high defensive work rate keeps him engaged throughout the match.

Cons

No special traits

Only 3 star skill moves, so attacking contributions could be slightly limited, though not a major downside.

Alternatives

Final Verdict

Nuno Mendes is an incredibly fast and defensively solid full-back with great physicality, positioning, and passing. While he lacks special traits and his 3 star skill moves slightly limit his attacking play, these aren’t major issues. A top-tier left-back for any squad.
