The verdict

Murillo comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (18 vs 9), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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