Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

Bruno Wilson is a 29-year-old central defender at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 24 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 373rd of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wilson.

Judged on this season alone, Wilson graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 78th of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 4.303 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 74th of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Wilson is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wilson missed 9 games through injury (lower-body, leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24, Wilson carries the 74th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 105. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
