The verdict
Tarkowski comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (23 vs 10), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.
Hold — Ballard is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
Buy — Tarkowski is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
