Verdict
Virgil gets the edge. While both are strong defender options, Virgil currently offers the better combination of form, fixtures, and value.
- Form: Dead level at 0 each.
- Fixtures: Near-identical difficulty ahead (0.0 vs 0.0). Fixtures won't separate them.
- Value: Virgil returns 28.7 points per £1m vs Van Hecke's 31.5. Van Hecke is the better value pick, and the £1.4m price gap frees budget for upgrades elsewhere.
- Goal threat: Virgil has more goal involvements (7 vs 6 G+A). Expected stats also back Virgil on xG.
- Transfer trend: Similar transfer activity this week.
- Ownership: Virgil is the template pick at 31.5% — safe but offers limited rank gains. Van Hecke (10.7%) is the differential with more upside.
