The verdict
Virgil comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.
Buy — Virgil is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
Hold — Branthwaite is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
