The verdict

Bassey comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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