The verdict

Willock comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (13 vs 3), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

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

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