The verdict

Mendy comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (32 vs 12), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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