The picture is more mixed. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 4 appearances this season. Emiliano Buendía averages 5.50 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 311 minutes played (19 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 311 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. Treat the DEFCON return as a bonus rather than the headline reason to sign.

Question 4

Should I sign Emiliano Buendía for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?
