The verdict

Bassey comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (15 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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