Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: Janelt or Adams?

Accepted Answer

Janelt is the stronger DEFCON profile at 13.00 actions per 90 against 11.44 for Adams - a gap of 1.56 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 59 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of Janelt and Adams compare?

Accepted Answer

Janelt has logged 71 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 720 minutes (8.9 per 90). Adams has logged 37 across 637 minutes (5.2 per 90). Janelt earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 5 of 8 appearances this season; Adams earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 3 of 9 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 10 fixture change the DEFCON case?

Accepted Answer

Janelt is away at Brighton (FDR 4) and Adams is away at Ipswich Town (FDR 2) in Gameweek 10. 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 midfielder should I pick for Gameweek 10 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

At near-identical prices, Janelt is the cleaner DEFCON pick. The 1.56 per 90 edge is meaningful over the run of the season, and with no price advantage for Adams the choice tips to Janelt for managers building around defensive contributions.
