Merino averages 11.0 defensive contributions per 90 minutes, against the 12 a midfielder needs in a match to earn 2 DefCon points. That sits just under the line, so he needs a busier-than-usual game to convert. He has 10 qualifying clearances, blocks, interceptions, tackles and ball recoveries in 82 minutes this season. With under two full matches played, treat this rate as an early indication rather than a settled number.
Small sample: 82 minutes (0.9 matches’ worth) — under two full matches, so one busy or quiet game moves this rate sharply.
