The DEFCON case is thin. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 9 appearances this season. Olivier Boscagli averages 6.24 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 692 minutes played (48 total actions this season). That places Olivier Boscagli below the level where DEFCON becomes a genuinely bankable weekly return, so any manager signing them should be doing so for attacking output or fixture reasons rather than defensive contributions. Look for the attacking case first and treat DEFCON as an occasional plus.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Boscagli ranks 57 of 62 eligible defenders for DEFCON per 90 - the 10th 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

Accepted Answer

Boscagli has racked up 48 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 692 minutes. That works out to 6.2 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 10-plus threshold has been cleared in 0 of 9 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 692 minutes is enough to see the shape of the underlying rate, though a larger sample would tighten confidence.

Question 4

Should I sign Olivier Boscagli for Gameweek 10 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Olivier Boscagli's defensive workload of 6.24 actions per 90 is too thin to build a transfer around. The Gameweek 10 fixture is at home to Brentford, an FDR 3 matchup. If the attacking case is strong for other reasons, DEFCON is not the reason to hold back - but it should not be the reason to bring them in either.
