I believe there are 2-3 DEFCON assets in a league of their own. • Tarkowski and Muharemovic • Vuskovic is also in this bracket if the DC numbers hold up! I wanted to elaborate a little on what I think is the best way to fully utilise their potential: Of course you will always play these guys in the “easier” fixtures, and rightly so. But it’s often the slightly trickier fixtures which yield the greatest potential! And because we’re all so used to simply picking the best fixtures within our XI, these guys may often be benched in potentially great matchups. Teams that might be harder to keep out, but the DEFCON chances are so high that a clean sheet can strike gold. (I’ve touched on this idea previously but really wanted to encourage this way of thinking for certain assets) It’s the idea that a simple clean sheet with no attacking returns can yield up to 10-11 points (with bonus). Now the chances of this are slim, but it’s a ticket to a fairly achievable lottery. Not only that, but on the occasion that they don’t hit these heights, there’s still the excellent insurance policy of at least 3-4 points. This isn’t including their substantial set piece threat either! That’s why these three are so elite (in my opinion), they all also have superb attacking threat in solid defences. But DEFCON wise you have to be in the lottery to win it, and I like to target home games in particular. I feel like the home games are often the more likely chance of a CS in trickier games and just in general slightly better prospects. Now I’m not saying this will pay off every time! There will even be a couple of 1 pointers in there. But have trust in the overall strategy as I think the potential outweighs the downside with such great picks! I’ll probably only bench these assets in games with around 15% CS odds or less. Even then I don’t mind playing them if need be! This was a lengthy explanation… but I hope it was a somewhat useful insight into my way of thinking when it comes to these guys! 😀
