I'd say Hunter get's this one, probably 2-0 to him.

He has a far superior team to Martin. I reckon Martin could get ripped apart when the likes of Ronaldo, Nihat, Duff and Joe Cole push forward. It may not be as bad for his defence though when you have Parker and Vogel tracking back to give a helping hand. I think Martins strikers may find it a tad difficult to break through Hunters defence, even when they could get through Diarra would track back and make it even harder for the likes of Berbatov, Hleb, Emre, Diego and Kezman.

If Hunter had a slightly weaker team out this game would be alot closer.

Hunter has many powerful players, so I think he will win this match.

[Nedy]

Hunter for me......excellent defense, who can stop Martin attack......and powerful side midfields who can do great pass to Ronie or Nihat......

[Scarface]

Hunter looks too strong here, I think he'll win comfortably by a couple of goals. Ronaldo, Nihat, Joe Cole and Duff can torment Martin's defence, while I can't see Berbatov and Kezman getting much change out of Cannavaro, Mexes and Diarra, even with 2 excellent playmakers, Diego and Hleb, supplying them.

[Phatmann2003]

Hunter would take this as I feel martins defence is a little weak.

Hunter has a better attack too, but I prefer Martins midfield to hunters as he has a good balance there which would keep the score to about 1 or 2-0 to Hunter.

p.s. you want to loan a defender off me in the next window, martin? :ninja:

All depends who you're offering Phat :D

Thanks for the comments so far guys, I can't say I disagree too much with the fact that Hunter will win, but I do think that my team is well equiped to make this a close game.

Still keep the comments coming guys, every little bit helps ;)

[Hunter]

I agree Martin.

Although I think we both know I've won, I'm pretty sure it won't be a trouncing. Mainly because it doesn't deserve to be, I still think you may get a goal back to make it a more interesting bout.

[Keyser Soze]

Hunter gets this, Joe Cole and Duff would be having a blast on the wing, they would really punish Martin's lack of width. The pace of Hunter's strikeforce would also cause many problems for Martin's defence to deal with. Although, it wouldn't be a walk in the palk for Hunter, and Martin's midfield would make a good battle out of it, and maybe create a goal, courtesy of a Hleb/Diego/Stelios pass to one of the clinical strikers.

I think 2-1 to Hunter sounds fair.


p.s. you want to loan Kaka off me in the next window, mat? :ninja:
Hmmm.... maybe, does 2m sound good to you? :ninja:

[Yossi]

Hunter's wingers would destroy Martin, as he has no fullbacks. Also, Martin's defensive midfielders will be redundant as Hunter's central midfielders will not venture forward much, and will just sort out Diego.

[martin_cranie]
