Question 1

Who has the stronger DEFCON rate: Wan-Bissaka or Milenković?

Accepted Answer

Wan-Bissaka is the stronger DEFCON profile at 12.62 actions per 90 against 10.33 for Milenković - a gap of 2.29 per 90. Over a 38-match season that difference works out to roughly 87 extra defensive contribution actions before any attacking upside is factored in.

Question 2

How do the raw defensive workloads of Wan-Bissaka and Milenković compare?

Accepted Answer

Wan-Bissaka has logged 15 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 107 minutes (12.6 per 90). Milenković has logged 31 across 270 minutes (10.3 per 90). Wan-Bissaka earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 3 appearances this season; Milenković earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 3 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

Wan-Bissaka is at home to Brentford (FDR 3) and Milenković is away at Crystal Palace (FDR 3) 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

Wan-Bissaka has the DEFCON edge at 12.62 per 90 versus 10.33. That advantage costs £0.9m if Wan-Bissaka is dearer - work out whether the edge is worth the outlay in your specific squad. On DEFCON grounds alone Wan-Bissaka is the better profile, but £0.9m spent elsewhere may return more depending on where you are stretched.
