The verdict

Lacroix comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (12 vs 11), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping O'Reilly.

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