Which defenders can combine clean sheets with DefCon points?

22 January 2026 114 comments

Tom Hadley

Tom Hadley – a one-time world number one in FPL – is the newest addition to our ever-growing team of contributors.

He’s providing data-driven articles regularly this season, chiefly around defensive contribution points (DefCon).

In this piece, he picks out the players who have a good chance of combining clean sheets with DefCon points over the coming weeks. He also points out some lesser-known players and budget gems to consider.

We are comfortably past the halfway mark this season and all of the information is there to fully utilise DefCon and consistently gain those extra points.

DefCon Leaders

The obvious place to start is to take a broad look at the current overall DefCon leaders, both in defence and midfield.

Saka to wirtz? Or Rogers? And give Watkins more time or swap him for Thiago?

Already have rice, and just swapped Foden to Fernandes.

    Did you see the swelling on his ankle?
    
    He could easily miss a couple of matches.
    
    If you don't have Guiu you could bench him, otherwise you're relying on your defenders.

      Stach could be back this weekend - Farke presser today 1:30.
      
      Enzo v Bruno F is a tough decision one. Long term Bruno is the better pick but Enzo has a better entry point this GW. Is it a case of one over the other or which one to bring in first?

Tavernier replacement up to 7.2? Own Enzo Foden Saka Rice
1. Schade - skyhigh xGI, good fixture, don't have Thiago, will want in 27, nailed
2. Ndiaye - pens, decent fixtures, talisman, nailed (Lack of attacking support with Kdh Grealish out)
3. Other?

1 FT, £1.6m to spend.

Roefs Dúbravka
Gabriel Chalabah Van Hecke Mukiele Heaven
Saka Semenyo Rice Rogers BrunoG
Haaland Ekitiké Guiu

I was going to roll, but is BrunoG to Mbeumo the move to make here?

With Heaven and Guiu I've only got 1 bench cover so it looks like moving early for the Manchester United man makes sense now.

Is van den Berg straight back in and nailed? Collins worth the extra 0.5?

Thinking of getting one to play this week, then benching for a couple of gameweeks. Probably sensible to wait for vdB, but if Collins is significantly better, I could commit to him now.

  I mean, bench for a few gameweeks (3!). Gives me better cover than O'Reilly, and sets up some good fixtures when other players in my team could do with a well-earned rest!
  
  But there's also Mukiele as an option. His fixtures don't rotate quite as well with my players as Brentford's, and Sunderland's defence doesn't look as good, but he has got more points than the Brentford defenders on average this season, quite significantly. Brentford been a bit 'unlucky' to have so many pens against though.
  
  Or there's Guehi? Somehow seems more boring than even Collins.

      Mbuemo 3rd bench as well. No Haaland, though

  Tempted to go 5 at the back. Either with O'Reilly or by selling him for Collins (NFO). Liverpool's defensive numbers are good and Bournemouth struggling in attack when at home. Liverpool with a good away defence. Simplistic way of looking at it, but better than no way.
  
  Bench Welbeck and Rogers (Fernandes only just makes the XI). Newcastle defence too good for Rogers, and Fulham home defence seems solid except against the top teams, while Welbeck is struggling for goals and minutes.

Looks like Enzo goes up tonight.

BrunoG a long way from dropping, would you...

Play it safe and bring in Enzo?

Live a little and go for Mbeumo?

  I lived a little and went Mbeumo instead of Bruno for about a month before AFCON. It wasn't fun.

  Do you have Bruno F? If not I'd go Mbuemo.

    I've got £1.6m banked so can't afford BrunoF without a hit
    
    Just 1 FT
    
    Have Saka, Rice, Semenyo, Rogers too.
    
    Unless I upgrade Guiu or Heaven instead?

      Wouldn't bother upgrading Guiu as there isn't much value in the strikers this season. Heaven to Senesi or even Maguire (if he holds down a first team place) might be decent.
      
      I'd probably save the FT and try and find the money for Bruno F. Otherwise Mbuemo would be decent.

    Misunderstood because I read the top reply before your post. Live a little! I bought Mbuemo and put him third on the bench!
    
    Also bought Fernandes and considering benching him 😀

      That said, I kind of regret it already. I'm not sure how long I'll want Mbuemo. Might be getting rid of him again in GW28 already, and FTs are going to be precious with blanks and doubles coming up. Still, points are points, and hopefully he'll have some monster hauls

Already done Foden to Wirtz and have one more free transfer up to 6.5m. Thinking if Szoboslai to Enzo before price increases?

Seems to be playing slightly deeper under Rosensior though. Any other suggestions?

  He's been advanced enough if you look at the last two heat maps.
  
  He also had a better starting position in the Champions League game.

Probably roll, then something like Bruno G + Foden to Bruno F + Ndiaye next GW?

    Yeah, might be worth getting Ndiaye for (LEE) rather than relying on Andersen this week

  If you roll
  
  You'll need to start a 4th defender
  
  Despite the hopes of Howe it looks like Bruno G will be out on Sunday

    Would be looking at an Andersen 1-3 pointer coming in for Bruno so may be wise to go Ndiaye early, cheers!

      Will he definitely start though? He only won AFCON last Sun.

  How many FTs?
  
  I wouldn't wildcard
  
  You've also got decent options on the bench
  
  Sell Bruno G, O"R or Foden then.
