The verdict

Mainoo comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (5 vs 4), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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