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.
Six clearances in loss
Rudiger recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and six clearances in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout loss to Paraguay.
ANALYSIS
Rudiger played up until the final 10 minutes of extra time Monday, notching three crosses and six clearances in the loss. He would complete 114 passes as Germany controlled the game, although that control was not enough to earn them a second goal in 120 minutes of play. He ended the World Cup with two straight starts after the injury to Nico Schlotterbeck (ankle), recording two tackles and 13 clearances in 262 minutes of play, although he failed to earn a clean sheet as Germany didn't see any at the 2026 World Cup.

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.
