The verdict

Dasilva comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (18 vs 16), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

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

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