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. Vitaly Janelt averages 13.00 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 720 minutes played (104 total actions this season). 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. 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

Janelt sits at number 4 of 67 eligible midfielders for DEFCON per 90. That is a top-ten profile - the underlying rate is strong enough that any manager building around defensive contributions should have this player on the shortlist.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Janelt has racked up 71 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 720 minutes. That works out to 8.9 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. FPL lists 104 total defensive contribution actions this season, which is the workload proxy used to rank DEFCON profiles before full gameweek-by-gameweek bonus counts are available everywhere. 720 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 10 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

On DEFCON grounds the case is strong. Vitaly Janelt is one of the most reliable midfielders in the league at 13.00 defensive contribution actions per 90, and Fixture data for Gameweek 10 is not yet available so treat this note as fixture-neutral. That combination points to a strong Gameweek 10 floor before any attacking output is factored in.
