Experienced headDefensive midfielder

B. Bronico is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Charlotte, rated 18.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 375th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bronico.

Judged on this season alone, Bronico graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.935 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 37th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Bronico is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.5, Bronico carries the 37th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 40 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
