How to get the best out of J. Méndez in Career Mode
J. Méndez is a central defender at Peñarol (72 overall, CB) — unremarkable at that. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases. Above all they stand out for their strength (82).
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of J. Méndez?
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 CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Stopper and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (82) and tackling (79). That more than solid strength is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: aerial ability (58). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 2,2 M€ with 25 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
What is J. Méndez's best position?
Their best position is CB, though they can also play CDM.
How high can J. Méndez's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (72): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 74 — decent for their position.
