Progressing Nicely - jason97 - 2026-10-13
London, England
Joao Mendes is progressing very well in his third season in the SSL. With only one game left in the season, we look back at what was an impressive season for the young midfielder. With only one game left, Inter London will have a chance to win the league. Although it is a long shot, they will still have the chance to play in the promotion match, which looks to be against Montreal United or North Shore United. This will give them the chance to play next season in the first division.
In the 11 games that Mendes has started so far, he has an average match rating of 7.41, putting him among the top ten in the minor league division. He has six goals and three assists, doubling his goal tally from last season. He has 9 shots on target and 22 shots, with 10 key passes. He has an 89.63% successful pass percentage, among the top 3 for midfielders in the league. Defensively, Mendes has been a beast in the midfield, with 29 successful headers, 28 tackles won, 18 interceptions, 7 clearances, and 5 blocks. Mendes also had 4 yellow cards.
This has been Mendes best season to date, and all his hard work is paying off. He is currently second in his draft class in terms of TPE, behind Ekon Ayo. Due to his progression, he is knocking on the door for Inter London's first team. He is on the verge of being called up for the Pyrenees Union team for the WSFC. It is all coming together quickly for the young Portuguese midfielder.
