Harry Maguire averages 6.50 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 360 minutes played (26 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 360 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 4

Should I sign Harry Maguire for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Harry Maguire's defensive workload of 6.50 actions per 90 is moderate rather than elite. The Gameweek 6 fixture is at home to Spurs, an FDR 3 matchup.
