Antonio Rudiger
32-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.
Makes nine clearances in win
Rudiger had nine clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Benfica.
ANALYSIS
Rudiger was solid in his first 90-minute outing since recovering from a knee issue. He completed 58 accurate passes while coming close to a double-digit clearance tally for the first time this season. Additionally, he earned his fourth clean sheet over 10 La Liga or UCL games played in the 2025/26 campaign. He'll look to retain a regular spot as part of a four-man back line if he stays fit for upcoming fixtures.

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.
