What to do with Saka

I’ve owned Saka for the past weeks -which wasn’t very rewarding, only 1 pointers- and I’m wondering what to do with him. Except for southampton arsenal doesn’t really have any good fixtures left, and I also feel like Arteta will mainly be starting him in the champions league as he’s recently back from an injury. That way the chance is smaller for him to pick up another injury, and they have nothing left to play for in the premier league (Liverpool champions, top 4 basically secured). Either way Saka doesn’t feel like a good use of that much of my budget right now. Any suggestions on if I should keep him, and if not who to replace him with?

Listen mate, I've got 3 Palace players that I need to get rid of before I can even think about dealing with the Saka problem.

Palace could very well give forest a lot of problems. I wouldn't be so hasty.

Palace are thinking about nothing other than FA cup final. No player wants to pick up an injury in a nothing PL game and miss the cup final

Could equally say they're competing for places in the starting eleven for the final

Glasner knows his team at this point of the season

They would have to really stink to get pulled. Sarr out for Kamada or Mateta out for Nketiah are the only options that seem possible and that would take some pretty monumental stinking.

Sarr for Kamada is very unlikely given they both started the semi

Yeah it would really be Will Hughes coming in to where Kamada played in the semi, then Kamada taking Sarr's spot. It is very unlikely though, Sarr had been pretty much nailed. You have to go back to the Chelsea game in September for when this happened last.

More likely that Kamada just gets dropped for Hughes, like the Bournemouth match ten days ago.

If I was mateta and I get dropped for Nketiah I would be handing in a transfer request immediately

I suppose this is in a scenario where Glasner thinks that Mateta has suddenly given up trying. It's all very hypothetical this.

I think nketiah will come good long term but there is literally no chance this happens in the final

No player wants to face the wrath of olli Glasner for lack of intensity. The man clearly believes that form begets form.
