The verdict

Thiago comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 18), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

Buy — Kostoulas is one of the better FWD options for the next 5 gameweeks.

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