Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

B. Tuiloma is a 31-year-old central defender at Charlotte, rated 15.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 150th of 193 on scout potential in the A-League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tuiloma.

Judged on this season alone, Tuiloma graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League, on 2 clean sheets and 1.462 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 26th of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League. At 31 Tuiloma is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.9% 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 15.8, Tuiloma carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
