The verdict

Watkins comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 14), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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