That defensive workload sits in the top tier for defenders across the league and points to a repeatable +2pt DEFCON floor when the 10-action threshold is cleared. Managers with a DEFCON-focused blueprint should have this player near the top of the shortlist.

Question 2

How does Mukiele rank among Fantasy Premier League defenders for DEFCON?

Accepted Answer

Mukiele is currently the number one ranked FPL defender for defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes this season, out of 63 eligible players.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

On DEFCON grounds the underlying case is strong at 12.18 defensive contribution actions per 90 - one of the best workloads in the position.

Signings on this profile are best sized around a longer-run fixture plan.
