Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: Diomande or Wan-Bissaka?

Accepted Answer

Diomande is the stronger DEFCON profile at 13.85 actions per 90 against 12.62 for Wan-Bissaka - a gap of 1.23 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 47 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of Diomande and Wan-Bissaka compare?

Accepted Answer

Diomande has logged 14 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 91 minutes (13.8 per 90). Wan-Bissaka has logged 15 across 107 minutes (12.6 per 90). Diomande earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 2 appearances this season; Wan-Bissaka earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 3 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

Diomande is away at Crystal Palace (FDR 3) and Wan-Bissaka is at home to Brentford (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

Diomande has the DEFCON edge at 13.85 per 90 versus 12.62. That advantage costs £0.9m if Diomande is dearer - work out whether the edge is worth the outlay in your specific squad. On DEFCON grounds alone Diomande is the better profile, but £0.9m spent elsewhere may return more depending on where you are stretched.
