The verdict

Gakpo comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 17), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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