Clean sheets

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 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41, 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).
