The verdict

Mbeumo comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (24 vs 15), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

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

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