So, I haven't had the chance to find out for myself, but if you scan in a villager (and replace an unwanted villager with it), will the Amiibo villager move into the same spot the old villager was in?
they'll normally move in the same spot, but you can always plot reset them into the spot you want if they don't move there first try. also fair warning, but be careful with amiibo villagers. a lot of members on here have been having trouble with getting them to move out once scanning them in. some even taking months to move out, or having to use an amiibo to move them out. anyway, i hope this helped
