The verdict

Wirtz comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 14), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

Hold — Ndiaye 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.
