I see people on the timeline are massively underrating defensive contribution points.

For reference, the best defenders on this metric (Tarkowski, Murillo, Lacroix…) will score around XX additional points this season.

The worst defenders (Gabriel, Saliba, Konsa…) will score around XX additional points.

That is a XX point gain in a position where even the best players only score 130-150 points across last season.

I don’t think some people realise how HUGE that difference is!
