The verdict

Benitez 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 — Benitez is one of the better GKP options for the next 5 gameweeks.

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