The verdict

Cunha comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

Buy — Cunha is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.
