Summary

Rui Mendes has already made an impact in the 2026/27 Eredivisie season, scoring one goal in just 112 minutes across two appearances. His goals per 90 minutes stand at 0.8, a stark contrast to the baseline of 0.14 for midfielders, showing he is scoring far more often than the average player in his position. Mendes also has a perfect conversion rate, turning his single shot on target into a goal. While his other statistical categories - such as shots per 90, key passes, tackles, interceptions, and dribbles - match the baseline or fall short, the goal-scoring output remains the standout feature of his early campaign. The data indicates that, despite limited playing time, Mendes is contributing at a rate that exceeds the typical output for a midfielder in the Eredivisie.

Rui Mendes has played 177 minutes across 3 appearances in Eredivisie, scoring 0.51 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.36, converting 20% of 5 shots and averaging 6.73 a match.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 20 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
