Clean sheets

5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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.

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 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Division of 6 — 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).
