The verdict

Egan comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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