The verdict

Cherki comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 17), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

Buy — Xhaka is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.
