Question 1

Is Vitaly Janelt a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the standout DEFCON returns in the league. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 3 of 5 appearances this season, with a 60% hit rate on the +2pt DEFCON bonus. That defensive workload sits in the top tier for midfielders across the league and points to a repeatable +2pt DEFCON floor when the 12-action threshold is cleared. The sample is still small at 450 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. In a season where DEFCON matters, this is the profile you want.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Among the 118 eligible midfielders, Janelt ranks 12 for DEFCON per 90. That is a top-tier profile without being elite - the 91th percentile of the position - meaning managers who focus on fixture and price can often find better value while managers who stack DEFCON specialists will still consider them.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Janelt has racked up 44 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 450 minutes. That works out to 8.8 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 12-plus threshold has been cleared in 3 of 5 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 450 minutes is enough to see the shape of the underlying rate, though a larger sample would tighten confidence.

Question 4

Should I sign Vitaly Janelt for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

On DEFCON grounds the underlying case is strong at 12.80 defensive contribution actions per 90 - one of the best workloads in the position. The Gameweek 6 fixture is away at Aston Villa, an FDR 4 matchup. A tougher matchup will not neutralise the DEFCON output because it is action-based rather than result-based, but the attacking upside is reduced. Signings on this profile are best sized around a longer-run fixture plan.
