Question 1

Is Josh Acheampong a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

There is enough here to note without overselling it. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 4 appearances this season. Josh Acheampong averages 8.14 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 221 minutes played (20 total actions this season). That is a moderate workload rather than an elite one - DEFCON can land, but it should be treated as a bonus rather than a bankable weekly return. The sample is still small at 221 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. The return is worth noting but the case for a transfer rests on something else.

Question 2

How does Acheampong rank among Fantasy Premier League defenders for DEFCON?

Acheampong ranks 44 of 109 eligible defenders for DEFCON per 90 - the 61th percentile at their position. That places them below the level where DEFCON should be a leading reason to own them. Attacking output, price, and fixtures need to carry more of the weight in the buying case.

Question 3

What do Acheampong's raw defensive numbers look like this Fantasy Premier League season?

Accepted Answer

Acheampong has racked up 20 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 221 minutes. That works out to 8.1 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 10-plus threshold has been cleared in 1 of 4 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 221 minutes is a small sample - the raw figures are directional rather than definitive.

Question 4

Should I sign Josh Acheampong for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Josh Acheampong's defensive workload of 8.14 actions per 90 is moderate rather than elite. The Gameweek 6 fixture is at home to Bournemouth, an FDR 3 matchup.
