The verdict

White comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (22 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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