The verdict

Thiago comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 3), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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