The verdict

Belloumi comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (11 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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