The verdict
Van Hecke comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.
Buy — Van Hecke is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
Hold — Branthwaite is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
