The verdict

Barnes comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

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

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