Nobel Mendy is a central defender at Rayo Vallecano, rated 66 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 74, CB. That's weak for their position. At 20 with 8 points of headroom up to 74, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. They can also play LB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are jumping (68) and strength (67). Their jumping is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: composure (56) and marking (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 2,1 M€, with 8 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 66 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +8 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
