The verdict

Elanga comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (20 vs 12), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 2.6) and better current form.

Buy — Elanga 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.
