The verdict

Rice comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 8), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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