The verdict

Saka comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (38 vs 4), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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