Thiago or Barry?
On projected points they are within 0.9 of each other over six gameweeks — close enough that points are not the thing that should decide it.

The answer nobody else gives you
Barry is owned by 8.1% of managers, against 8.8% for Thiago.
If you are chasing someone in your mini-league, the less-owned player is usually the right pick even when he projects slightly lower — points from a player your rival also owns cancel out and cannot close the gap. If you are defending a lead, take the one your rival already has: matching them removes their chance to gain on you.
Global ownership is only a proxy. What actually matters is whether the specific people in your league own him.
