The verdict

Hill comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (18 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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