The verdict

Jacquet comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

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

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