The verdict
Rice comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.
Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping James.
Hold — Rice is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
