The verdict

Scott comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (16 vs 12), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.4) and better current form.

Buy — Scott is one of the better MID options for the next 5 gameweeks.

Hold — Lavia is fine to keep, but there is no urgent case to bring him in.
