The verdict

Castagne comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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