The verdict

Haaland comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (36 vs 3), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

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

Buy — Haaland is one of the better FWD options for the next 5 gameweeks.
