The verdict

Saka comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (42 vs 2), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

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

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