Question 1

Is Pau a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

Do not build a transfer on the defensive rate alone. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 0 of 3 appearances this season. Pau averages 4.33 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 187 minutes played (9 total actions this season). That places Pau below the level where DEFCON becomes a genuinely bankable weekly return, so any manager signing them should be doing so for attacking output or fixture reasons rather than defensive contributions. The sample is still small at 187 minutes, so treat the rate as a signal rather than a settled read. If your team leans on defensive contributions, this is not the profile to lead with.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Pau ranks 100 of 109 eligible defenders for DEFCON per 90 - the 9th 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 Pau's raw defensive numbers look like this Fantasy Premier League season?

Accepted Answer

Pau has racked up 9 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles across 187 minutes. That works out to 4.3 defensive actions per 90 minutes on average. The 10-plus threshold has been cleared in 0 of 3 appearances, converting to the +2pt DEFCON bonus each time. 187 minutes is a small sample - the raw figures are directional rather than definitive.

Question 4

Should I sign Pau for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer

Pau has an availability flag with a 0% chance of playing next round. Wait for confirmation before committing a transfer - DEFCON reliability means nothing if the player does not start. The Gameweek 6 fixture is at home to Brentford, an FDR 3 matchup.
