Why we like him
Stanger is a floor-first pick for managers who value defensive minutes, he is listed as a STARTER and averaging 84 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks, while a team-form index of 80.00 and a Sorare Edge projection of 75.5 (model confidence medium) push his ceiling up as a steady source of clean-sheet points. Kilmarnock open the season away at McDiarmid Park against newly promoted St Johnstone on August 2, a fixture that leans toward being competitive but not hostile to shutout chances for a starting centre back. Stanger’s recent track record shows heavy usage and tangible defensive returns last season, with seasonal appearance and clean-sheet totals that underline why he is likely to be in the Starting XI and worth starting when you need a dependable defensive score; treat him as a safe floor with some upside if Kilmarnock keeps its early-season form.
