Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: Muharemović or Botman?

Accepted Answer

Muharemović is the stronger DEFCON profile at 12.50 actions per 90 against 10.25 for Botman - a gap of 2.25 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 86 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of Muharemović and Botman compare?

Accepted Answer

Muharemović has logged 50 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 360 minutes (12.5 per 90). Botman has logged 41 across 360 minutes (10.3 per 90). Muharemović earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 3 of 4 appearances this season; Botman earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 4 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

Muharemović is away at Arsenal (FDR 5) and Botman is away at Coventry City (FDR 2) 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, Muharemović is the cleaner DEFCON pick. The 2.25 per 90 edge is meaningful over the run of the season, and with no price advantage for Botman the choice tips to Muharemović for managers building around defensive contributions.
