The verdict

Groß comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (23 vs 20), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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