The verdict

Slater comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (18 vs 6), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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