Early clean-sheet outlook for the first five Gameweeks, based on current bookies’ odds 👇 Arsenal and Man City lead, with Liverpool and Man Utd level behind. Markets are still developing, so expect plenty of movement closer to kick-off. Useful for an early Wildcard. #FPL

1/ What impact does a team’s setup have on a player’s DefCon potential? I made this table to estimate how Premier League defender transfers could change their CBIT output based on the defensive-action environment at their new club.

4/ Marcos Senesi and Maxence Lacroix move the other way. Senesi falls from 10.81 to 8.97, while Lacroix drops from 10.34 to 8.62 after moving from Palace to Chelsea. Both remain plausible DefCon options, but their new environments make them slightly less attractive.

5/ Nothing transformative yet, but it’s a useful way to assess how a transfer might change a defender’s FPL appeal. I’ll keep updating the table as more Premier League defender transfers happen.

Attacking defenders at each price point 🔥 £6.5m - O'Reilly: The highest xG for any defender at 6.12, 5 goals and 4 assists, can also play in midfield and a big threat from set pieces £5.5m - Munoz: Combining goal and assist threat, 4 goals and 4 assists, with 10 goal involvements in the 24/25 season, positionally plays as a right winger in attack £5.0m - N.Williams: Glasner at Forest could mean Neco Williams lines up in the Munoz role in a back 5, and this has been the case in pre-season, 6th highest for xGI last season £4.5m - Kadioglu: Underrated option at 3% owned, 5.37xGi ranked him in the top 10 for xGI, nailed in the Brighton side and takes some set pieces £4.0m - van Ewijk: Registered 8 assists for Coventry last season, plays as an advanced right back that has been known to line up as a right winger

For mids, assuming same defcon and CS numbers, they’d need 40pts in attacking returns and bonus to match this. This is why pure defcon mids priced at 5.5m (Caicedo, Gomes) are NOT picks. Better to downgrade to 5m (Matusiwa) or upgrade to 6m+ (Anderson, M. Fernandes, Garner).
For 38 games a CB with 50% defcon rate, 10 CSs would hit 154pts. Add attacking returns and bonus, minus pts for yellow cards and goals conceded and it could still be 160pts+. Some of the defs in the 5m bracket like Ballard, Bijol, Muhamerovic, Vuskovic etc could hit this

Projected DEFCON leaders for 26/27 season 👇 - O'Shea & Hughes newcomers - James Hill new leader of Bournemouth defence - Chris Richards tops at Palace - Kitching, Murillo, Canvot underrated? #ITFC #HCFC #AFCB #CPFC #FPL

✍️ مقارنة بين فان دايك وجابرييل بالدوري الموسم الماضي ورأيي نروح مع مين فيهم ببداية الموسم.. 🔷 جابرييل Gabriel : - سجل 3 أهداف. ❌ - صنع 4 أسيستات. ✅ - 18 كلين شيت. ✅ - معدل مساهمات دفاعية (9.1) لكل مباراة. ❌ - 7 تسديدات على المرمي. ❌ - تحصل على 7 فرص محققة للتسجيل. ❌ - معدل أهداف متوقعة (xG) = 2.93. ❌ صنع 7 فرص. ❌ 🔷 فان دايك Van Dijk : - سجل 6 أهداف. ✅ - صنع 0 أسيستات. ❌ - 10 كلين شيت. ❌ - معدل مساهمات دفاعية (9.2) لكل مباراة. ✅ - 14 تسديدة على المرمي. ✅ - تحصل على 12 فرصة محققة للتسجيل. ✅ - معدل أهداف متوقعة (xG) = 3.77. ✅ - صنع 12 فرصة. ✅ فان دايك يتفوق في أغلب الأرقام.. وسعر الهولندي مقارنة باللي قدمه الموسم الماضي يعتبر سرقة حرفياً. 🔥 حتى جدول الليفر أفضل في أولي الجولات.. مع فرق الـ 1.5m£ بين الاتنين لو خيرتني بينهم تبدأ الموسم بواحد فيهم هروح مع فان دايك (لو عرفت تجمع الاتنين يكون ممتاز). 👍 #FPL

Is Declan Rice going under the radar? 📡 ⚽ Goals - 4 with 3.15 xG 👟 Assists - 9 with 7.12 xA 🛡️ Defcons - 10.74 per start 🏷️ Price - £7.5m 🥇 Made the FPL TOTY Will play a deeper role and Defcons should only increase but attacking returns might decrease. 🔴⚪ #FPLCommunity

💨 Milan van Ewijk (£4.0m) could be one of the best budget enablers for FPL 2026/27. Coventry's attacking RB brings plenty of upside: 🅰️ 8 assists 🎯 46 chances created 🛡️ 17 clean sheets 🚀 11 chances created from long throws ⚠️ His DefCon numbers (6.4/90) are poor, so don't expect BPS or defensive bonus points. ✅ You're picking Van Ewijk for attacking returns—not defensive contributions. 💭 Worth a spot in your GW1 squad? #FPL #FPLCommunity

Ajer could be the best £4.5m DEF 👀 Playing as a CB in a back four, DEFCON hit rate = 70%. That's Senesi level. If rumours about van den Berg being ruled out for 2–3 months are true, Ajer should be nailed. ⬜ TOT (H) ⬜ LEE (A) 🟩 SUN (H)

Here is a roundup of the best wildcard + bench boost combinations GW1-19! 👉🏻Target fixture swings (best on paper) 👉🏻Possible accompanying BB fixtures (cheaper assets) No obvious fixture swings this year so this one took a while to make, hopefully it’s of some use! 😀 #FPL
