Nuno Mendes: Career History until 2030
Nuno Mendes: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
Nuno Mendes is one of the best young fullbacks in Football Manager 2021. He is a well-rounded player who does not have many weaknesses and especially excels at the attacking third of the pitch.
In the auto-generated save, Mendes has surprisingly remained at Sporting CP for all 10 seasons. He has established himself as one of the club's greats and helped the club win several titles along the way.
However, not playing with quality teammates and in an inferior league has impacted his development, and he has not grown as much as he should have. Nevertheless, despite the negatives, Mendes remains an overall solid fullback in 2030 with great attacking qualities.
His average ratings have been consistent and steady, albeit not outstanding. However, a human manager can definitely get much more out of the fullback and can be a great addition for managers who like to play attacking football.
