The verdict

Scott comes out ahead on the five-gameweek projection (17 vs 5), largely because of the fixture run (average difficulty 3.2) and better current form.

Sell — the projection, fixtures or minutes do not support keeping J.Murphy.

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