"Selecting defenders who excel in defensive contributions has its benefits. To highlight this let's discuss Marcos Senesi, who's been worth his weight in gold this season. The Bournemouth defender has achieved defensive contribution points in every game this season. That's a huge 12 points, which is the same as a defender scoring two goals in six games - which is rare and harder to predict."
"DefCon at the back is the strategy this season. I've been banging on about it. Six of the top 10 players in the game are defenders. Defenders are so, so, so good this season. Senesi, Omar Alderete, Marc Guehi, Gabriel, Jurrien Timber, Tino Livramento. There are players like Moses Caicedo who have scored more points that Mohamed Salah - we'd never usually see that in fantasy football."
Defensive contribution points (DefCons) award points for clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles, boosting defenders' fantasy value. Marcos Senesi has recorded defensive contribution points in every match, accumulating 12 points and rising to the top-scoring defender ranks. Several defenders occupy spots among the overall highest performers, with names like Senesi, Omar Alderete, Marc Guehi, Gabriel, Jurrien Timber and Tino Livramento highlighted. Some midfielders such as Moses Caicedo have outscored traditional attacking assets like Mohamed Salah. Widespread defender value has altered squad-building economics, leaving significant transfer funds available and prompting re-evaluation of formation and selection strategies.
