Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.8, Anton carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
