The verdict

Ajayi comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (55 vs 6), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

Buy — Ajayi is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
