The verdict

B.Fernandes comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 18), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and a stronger underlying profile.

Buy — Rice is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.

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