Do not build a transfer on the defensive rate alone. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 3 appearances this season. Anthony Elanga averages 3.49 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 232 minutes played (9 total actions this season).

The sample is still small at 232 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. If your team leans on defensive contributions, this is not the profile to lead with.
