Predicted Defcon Potential
Ranked by a weighted blend of recent defensive form and how attacking their next opponent is right now — season rating and actual goals scored in their last 5 games both count — plus how likely they are to actually start. That combination drives the ranking, not the single "Last match" number below (one game alone doesn't prove much). Ratings are relative to this gameweek's field, not a fixed score. A guide, not a guarantee.
Gameweek 1 special: with no recent defensive-actions data yet, potential is based on fixture difficulty alone — a tougher or more even fixture means more defending needed. Normal form-based predictions resume from Gameweek 2.
