The verdict

Hall comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 9), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.6) and better current form.

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

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