The verdict

Thomas comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (8 vs 0), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

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

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