Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

O.Dango is the stronger DEFCON profile at 14.08 actions per 90 against 11.82 for L.Miley - a gap of 2.26 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 O.Dango and L.Miley compare?

Accepted Answer

O.Dango has logged 11 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 179 minutes (5.5 per 90). L.Miley has logged 26 across 396 minutes (5.9 per 90). O.Dango earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 5 appearances this season; L.Miley earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 5 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

O.Dango is away at Aston Villa (FDR 4) and L.Miley 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 midfielder should I pick for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

O.Dango has the DEFCON edge at 14.08 per 90 versus 11.82. That advantage costs £0.8m if O.Dango is dearer - work out whether the edge is worth the outlay in your specific squad. On DEFCON grounds alone O.Dango is the better profile, but £0.8m spent elsewhere may return more depending on where you are stretched.
