The verdict
Barnes comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (19 vs 4), 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 — Barnes is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.
