The verdict

Tarkowski comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (22 vs 11), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

Buy — Tarkowski is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.

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