The verdict

Thomas comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

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

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