Diego Gomez averages 5.95 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 348 minutes played (23 total actions this season). That is a moderate workload rather than an elite one - DEFCON can land, but it should be treated as a bonus rather than a bankable weekly return. The sample is still small at 348 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. Treat the DEFCON return as a bonus rather than the headline reason to sign.

Question 2

How does Gomez rank among Fantasy Premier League midfielders for DEFCON?

Accepted Answer

Gomez ranks 90 of 118 eligible midfielders for DEFCON per 90 - the 25th percentile at their position. That places them below the level where DEFCON should be a leading reason to own them. Attacking output, price, and fixtures need to carry more of the weight in the buying case.

Question 3

What do Gomez's raw defensive numbers look like this Fantasy Premier League season?

Gomez has racked up 14 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 348 minutes. That works out to 3.6 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 12-plus threshold has been cleared in 0 of 4 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 348 minutes is a small sample - the raw figures are directional rather than definitive.

Question 4

Should I sign Diego Gomez for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Diego Gomez's defensive workload of 5.95 actions per 90 is moderate rather than elite. The Gameweek 6 fixture is away at Sunderland, an FDR 3 matchup. A transfer on defensive contributions alone is hard to justify at this profile - lean on the fixture, price, or attacking output as the primary case and treat DEFCON as an occasional bonus.
