The verdict

Ajayi comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (36 vs 27), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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