The verdict

Cherki comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 3), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

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

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