The verdict

King comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (18 vs 3), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.4) and better current form.

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

Buy — King is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.
