"For the 8% still clinging to Mateta, it's time to accept defeat. His injury rules him out of the next few fixtures, and even though Burnley and Wolves look like plum ties for Crystal Palace, there's no point holding a 7.5m forward who's unlikely to feature. That's way too much money sitting idle at this stage of the season. The striker market is rich with options: drop down to Eli Kroupi Jr or Mateus Mané for budget flexibility, or pivot to João Pedro, Jorgen Strand Larsen, or Viktor Gyökeres if you want high ceiling potential."
"With Saka still sidelined, this is about opportunity cost. Arsenal's double is golden, but using one of your three slots on an injured asset at nearly 10m makes little sense. Even if he returns in time, there's no guarantee of two full starts. Managers jumping to Bruno Fernandes are already reaping steady returns, while Cole Palmer offers massive ceiling and Declan Rice serves as a reliable double‑gameweek pick. Selling Saka frees funds and opens doors to in‑form midfielders. It's a tough call, but the right one - at that price, uncertainty just isn't worth it when every point matters in a double."
Jean‑Philippe Mateta is injured and unlikely to feature in upcoming fixtures, making him an expensive inactive forward to hold. The striker market offers budget options such as Eli Kroupi Jr or Mateus Mané and higher‑ceiling alternatives like João Pedro, Jorgen Strand Larsen, or Viktor Gyökeres. Bukayo Saka remains sidelined, creating opportunity cost at nearly £10m; selling him frees funds for in‑form midfielders such as Bruno Fernandes, Cole Palmer, or Declan Rice for the double‑gameweek. Clearing injured, suspended, rotated, or out‑of‑form players ahead of Gameweek 26 enables managers to load up on key double‑gameweek assets. Nathan Collins' earlier run of form has faded and merits reassessment.
