J. Méndez is an all-rounder at Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba (69 overall, CM) — decent at that. At 28 it's immediate output: what you see is what you get, no waiting.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: short passing (70) and long passing (70). Their short passing is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Worth around 1,7 M€ with 9 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
They're already at their ceiling (69): at their age the rating won't rise.
Their market value is around 1,7 M€, with 9 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 70 — decent for their position.
