The verdict

Tavernier comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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