We measure the free energies in SU(2) of static fundamental charges and center monopoles. Dual to temporal center fluxes, the former provide a well-defined (dis)order parameter for deconfinement. In contrast, the monopole free energies vanish in the thermodynamic limit at all temperatures and are thus irrelevant for the transition.
