Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

L.Miley is the stronger DEFCON profile at 11.42 actions per 90 against 9.78 for N.Gonzalez - a gap of 1.64 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 62 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

L.Miley has logged 33 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 544 minutes (5.5 per 90). N.Gonzalez has logged 23 across 497 minutes (4.2 per 90). L.Miley earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 7 appearances this season; N.Gonzalez earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 7 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 N.Gonzalez is away at Fulham (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

At near-identical prices, L.Miley is the cleaner DEFCON pick. The 1.64 per 90 edge is meaningful over the run of the season, and with no price advantage for N.Gonzalez the choice tips to L.Miley for managers building around defensive contributions.
