The verdict

Szoboszlai comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 16), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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