The verdict

Ødegaard comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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