Question 1

Is Jurriën Timber a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

The DEFCON case is thin. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 2 appearances this season. Jurriën Timber averages 4.33 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 104 minutes played (5 total actions this season). That places Jurriën Timber below the level where DEFCON becomes a genuinely bankable weekly return, so any manager signing them should be doing so for attacking output or fixture reasons rather than defensive contributions. The sample is still small at 104 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. Look for the attacking case first and treat DEFCON as an occasional plus.

Question 2

How does J.Timber rank among Fantasy Premier League defenders for DEFCON?

Accepted Answer

J.Timber ranks 106 of 115 eligible defenders for DEFCON per 90 - the 9th 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 J.Timber's raw defensive numbers look like this Fantasy Premier League season?

Accepted Answer

J.Timber has racked up 5 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 104 minutes. That works out to 4.3 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 10-plus threshold has been cleared in 0 of 2 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 104 minutes is a small sample - the raw figures are directional rather than definitive.

Question 4

Should I sign Jurriën Timber for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Jurriën Timber's defensive workload of 4.33 actions per 90 is too thin to build a transfer around. The Gameweek 6 fixture is at home to Leeds, an FDR 2 matchup. If the attacking case is strong for other reasons, DEFCON is not the reason to hold back - but it should not be the reason to bring them in either.
