Our verdict on Saka
Chosen Esiwe
Bukayo Saka has been in the Arsenal starting eleven for 7 of their 8 league matches, staying on for 85 minutes on average. Minutes are not a worry here. He costs £9.5m and sits in 8.5% of teams.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 1.7. That ranks 88th of 159 midfielders who are playing regularly. Middle of the pack, in other words. Underneath the points, his expected goal involvement of 0.73 per 90 minutes ranks 5th in the same group. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way. He is first in line for penalties, and that alone lifts his ceiling.
He costs exactly what he did at the start of the season, including a fall this gameweek. The selling has started, with 215,494 more transfers out than in this gameweek, so a fall could follow.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces LIV (A), HUL (H), NEW (A), MCI (H) and BRE (A). It is a mixed spell, with good and awkward games side by side.
Every figure here comes from the official Fantasy Premier League data and refreshes as the week goes on. We judge minutes first, then form against others in the same position, price movement and the next five fixtures.
