Question 1

What does the FPL DefCon tracker do?

Accepted Answer

Enter your FPL team ID or manager name and it checks every defender, midfielder and forward in your squad against their defensive contribution threshold — showing each player's DefCon per 90, how far above or below the line they sit, and whether minutes or injury put that at risk. You can also search any individual player.

Question 2

What are the FPL DefCon thresholds?

Accepted Answer

Defenders need 10 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles in a match. Midfielders and forwards need 12, and their ball recoveries count too. Reaching the threshold earns 2 points, once per match. Goalkeepers are not eligible.

Question 3

Why does the tracker show margin instead of just DefCon per 90?

Accepted Answer

Because a per-90 figure means nothing until you know the line it is measured against, and that line moves by position — 10 for defenders, 12 for midfielders and forwards. A midfielder on 11 per 90 is below his threshold; a defender on 11 is above his. The margin makes that comparison for you.

Question 4

Why is my goalkeeper not shown?

Accepted Answer

Goalkeepers are not eligible for defensive contribution points in FPL 2026/27, so the tracker leaves them out rather than showing a figure that can never score.

Question 5

Is the DefCon tracker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free with no account needed, and it shows your whole squad rather than a teaser. Linking your team to Oracle adds recommendations on who to replace players who are falling short.
