On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 27th of 27 of the 27 centre-backs in the A-League. At 33 Brillante is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 6.4, Brillante carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 27, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
