The verdict

Stach comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (40 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping Merino.

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