The verdict

Barry comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (22 vs 20), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

Buy — Barry is one of the better FWD options for the next 5 gameweeks.
