The verdict

Saka comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (29 vs 13), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

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