Thiago Mendes

What makes Thiago Mendes useful for fantasy is the minutes certainty: he averages 88 minutes per game and is listed as regular with a 70% chance to start, so when he plays he usually eats heavy minutes and provides a reliable floor. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 11 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which shows consistent involvement even though CR Vasco da Gama's team form index is only 33.33. Sorare Edge pegs him for a high ceiling at 79.7 points versus Sorare's 53.0, so there is upside if he repeats full-match influence, but model confidence is low so expect variance and treat him as a minutes-based Starting XI option rather than a lock for big returns.
