Bayern Munichs Champions League humiliation at the hands of Real Madrid is generally blamed on the Bavarians' failure on the offensive end, where they always looked predictable and tame. Dantes stock didnt really take too much damage and aside from this lacklustre finish the Brazilian had had an exceptional season for Bayern, winning him that all-important seat on the plane (or probably in home nation Brazil's case, bus) to the World Cup. Dante is a card that should always be at the heart of a Bundesliga defence (preferably alongside the slightly more expensive Hummels) and at just over 1,000 the big Brazilian is a steal. He combines above-average speed with exceptional defensive stats like 86-sliding tackles, 85-standing tackles and 86 interceptions. His 87 heading accuracy and Power Header trait mean that he is also guaranteed to eventually bag your team a few from corners as well.
