Antonio Rudiger
33-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rudiger was the anchor of Real Madrid's defense during a 2024/25 season plagued by injuries across the back line. He managed 33 appearances (30 starts) and despite a late knee injury, should be set for the new season after featuring regularly in the Club World Cup. Rudiger's physicality and leadership helped Los Blancos maintain one of the top defensive records in La Liga last season, as he totaled 11 clean sheets. For now, it seems like he'll remain a starter, which makes him one of the best center-back options in the league in terms of fantasy.
Brilliant in win
Rudiger scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Elche.
ANALYSIS
Rudiger recorded a rare goal Saturday, for his first appearance on the scoresheet on the season. Since his return from injury, the defender has made a start in the last four league games, collecting six aerials with a clean sheet in that span.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Several teams after him
Several teams in the Premier League are keeping close tabs on Rudiger, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Crystal Palace have all initiated discussions regarding a possible move for the Germany and Real Madrid center-back. It's unclear if Rudiger is keen on leaving Real Madrid, but he's not getting any younger, and his injury issues might force him to look for a new club sooner rather than later. A return to England could be a good move to relaunch his career and play a sizable role again.
