Question 1

Is Iliman Ndiaye a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

There is enough here to note without overselling it. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 2 of 9 appearances this season. Iliman Ndiaye averages 7.99 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 676 minutes played (60 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 return is worth noting but the case for a transfer rests on something else.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Ndiaye ranks 34 of 69 eligible midfielders for DEFCON per 90 - the 52th 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 Ndiaye's raw defensive numbers look like this Fantasy Premier League season?

Accepted Answer

Ndiaye has racked up 23 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 676 minutes. That works out to 3.1 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 12-plus threshold has been cleared in 2 of 9 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 676 minutes is enough to see the shape of the underlying rate, though a larger sample would tighten confidence.

Question 4

Should I sign Iliman Ndiaye for Gameweek 10 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Iliman Ndiaye's defensive workload of 7.99 actions per 90 is moderate rather than elite. The Gameweek 10 fixture is away at Nott'm Forest, an FDR 3 matchup. A transfer on defensive contributions alone is hard to justify at this profile - lean on the fixture, price, or attacking output as the primary case and treat DEFCON as an occasional bonus.
