The verdict

Ødegaard comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (38 vs 8), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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