The verdict

Schade comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (23 vs 8), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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