The verdict

Janelt comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (27 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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