THE CALL: Split 47–53 — the statistics disagree across dimensions; neither player dominates every round.
Profiles are close on minutes and market value — no clear profile edge.
Mertesacker carries sharper recent form — season and last-10 output tilt their way.
Koulis has the sharper per-90 profile in their role; Mertesacker still answers in theirs.
Style vectors overlap — DNA tags do not crown a single winner this round.
