The verdict

White comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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