Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 51st of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 31 Antonsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • 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 16.2, Antonsen carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
