Defence modifier: calculate with your league rules
Enter raw ratings, choose who contributes to the average and check the band in your table. Verify the example configuration against your league's rules.
Configure the calculation first
Specify goalkeeper inclusion, the minimum eligible defender count and how many best ratings to use. Enter your league's thresholds and adjustments. Identify which team's score receives the adjustment.
Do not enter fantasy points already adjusted by bonuses or penalties. Use raw ratings for players eligible after your league's substitution rules. A player without a valid rating is not automatically assigned zero.
Example: including the goalkeeper
Worked inputs: goalkeeper 6.00; defenders 6.00, 6.50, 7.00 and 5.50. With at least four eligible defenders and the best three plus goalkeeper, the selected ratings are 6.00, 6.50, 7.00 and 6.00. Their total is 25.5 and the average 6.375.
In the example table, the band from 6 to below 6.5 gives +1. This is not a universal table. If your league uses different thresholds or values, the result must use those instead.
Review the selected players too
The result shows which ratings enter the average, which are excluded and which threshold is met. The band uses the unrounded average. A shortened display value should never trigger a higher adjustment while the exact average remains below its threshold.
Common questions
Are three defenders enough?
That depends on the configured requirement. The example requires at least four defenders with valid ratings.
Does the tool decide substitution eligibility?
No. Enter eligible players according to your league's settings.
Does it automatically apply to Mantra?
No. Check whether and how your format applies a modifier. The calculator follows the configuration you confirm.
