Is Milan van Ewijk a reliable DEFCON asset in Fantasy Premier League?

Accepted Answer

The picture is more mixed. earned the +2pt DEFCON bonus in 1 of 4 appearances this season. Milan van Ewijk averages 6.75 defensive contribution actions per 90 minutes across 360 minutes played (27 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.

van Ewijk ranks 59 of 109 eligible defenders for DEFCON per 90 - the 47th 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 4

Should I sign Milan van Ewijk for Gameweek 6 on DEFCON grounds?

Accepted Answer
