The verdict

Palmer comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 16), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and a stronger underlying profile.

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

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