Decision cues

Both carry the same baseline fantasy rating right now, so this pick has to be made on price, role security and fixtures rather than on rating.

Both names sit in the same price band, so cost alone should not decide this pick.

Value per credit is effectively identical, so decide on role security and minutes instead.

Club context differs: Malick Thiaw at Newcastle United versus Bafodé Diakité at Bournemouth.
