The verdict

Bijol comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (40 vs 9), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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