Mateta averages 7.3 defensive contributions per 90 minutes, against the 12 a forward needs in a match to earn 2 DefCon points. That is some way short of the threshold, so DefCon points should be treated as a bonus rather than a reason to own him. He has 5 qualifying clearances, blocks, interceptions, tackles and ball recoveries in 62 minutes this season. With under two full matches played, treat this rate as an early indication rather than a settled number.

Small sample: 62 minutes (0.7 matches’ worth) — under two full matches, so one busy or quiet game moves this rate sharply.
