The verdict

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

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

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