Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: L.Miley or Kamara?

Accepted Answer

L.Miley is the stronger DEFCON profile at 11.42 actions per 90 against 10.24 for Kamara - a gap of 1.18 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 45 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of L.Miley and Kamara compare?

Accepted Answer

L.Miley has logged 33 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 544 minutes (5.5 per 90). Kamara has logged 56 across 791 minutes (6.4 per 90). L.Miley earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 7 appearances this season; Kamara 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

L.Miley is away at Fulham (FDR 3) and Kamara is away at Man Utd (FDR 3) 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

L.Miley has the DEFCON edge at 11.42 per 90 versus 10.24. That advantage costs £0.5m if L.Miley is dearer - work out whether the edge is worth the outlay in your specific squad. On DEFCON grounds alone L.Miley is the better profile, but £0.5m spent elsewhere may return more depending on where you are stretched.
