Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: Affengruber or Ahanor?

Accepted Answer

Affengruber is the stronger DEFCON profile at 12.00 actions per 90 against 11.00 for Ahanor - a gap of 1.00 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 38 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of Affengruber and Ahanor compare?

Accepted Answer

Affengruber has logged 12 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 90 minutes (12.0 per 90). Ahanor has logged 11 across 90 minutes (11.0 per 90). Affengruber earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 1 appearances this season; Ahanor earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 1 appearances this season. Higher raw counts reflect a higher defensive workload; higher per-90 rates reflect efficiency at sustaining that workload.

Question 3

Does the Gameweek 6 fixture change the DEFCON case?

Accepted Answer

Affengruber is away at Ipswich Town (FDR 2) and Ahanor is at home to Nott'm Forest (FDR 3) in Gameweek 6. DEFCON output is action-based rather than result-based, so a tough fixture does not shrink the base rate the way it might reduce a clean sheet probability. That said, both players are more likely to see defensive volume in tougher matches - the DEFCON case can actually be marginally stronger against stronger opposition.

Question 4

Which defender should I pick for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

At near-identical prices, Affengruber is the cleaner DEFCON pick. The 1.00 per 90 edge is meaningful over the run of the season, and with no price advantage for Ahanor the choice tips to Affengruber for managers building around defensive contributions.
