The verdict

Hall comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (21 vs 7), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.8) and better current form.

Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping McNair.

Buy — Hall is one of the better DEF options for the next 5 gameweeks.
