Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 30). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 44th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 32 Bruno is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 17) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 19, Bruno carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Francs Borains finished 12th of 17) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
