The verdict

Mendy comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping Ouattara.

Buy — Mendy is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
