The verdict

Isak comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 12), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

Hold — Isak is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.

Hold — Nketiah is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
