The verdict

Saka comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (23 vs 12), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and a stronger underlying profile.

Hold — Munoz 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.
