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.
Hold — Rice is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
Buy — Saka is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.
