João Pedro gets the edge. While both are strong forward options, João Pedro currently offers the better combination of form, fixtures, and value.

  • Fixtures: Near-identical difficulty ahead (0.0 vs 0.0). Fixtures won't separate them.
  • Value: João Pedro returns 23.9 points per £1m vs Igor Jesus's 19.3. João Pedro is the better value pick, and the £1.5m price gap frees budget for upgrades elsewhere.
