The verdict

Saka comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (29 vs 11), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.0) and better current form.

Hold — N.Gonzalez 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.
