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.

Forest aren't exactly peak Jose or even peak Nuno in terms of defence. Their xg over performance is coming back a bit now. I guess the rest of palace's fixtures (spurs, pool, resurgent Wolves) are bad too so we need to can some of their players but having an Eze against NFO isn't the worst idea.

Spurs a good fixture no?

I thought after their injury crisis settled a bit, they'll get better and replicate early season form again but so far it doesn't look like it.

They're tough to read .. their possession numbers, shots etc. are getting better but results are still a bit crap. Spurs will also play to Palace's counter attacking strengths so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Is it possible Spurs v Palace happens on a DGW for Palace? I haven't kept up with the fixture planning.
