The verdict

Palmer comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (28 vs 11), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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