Hunter for me......because his midfield is better and with Nihat-Ronaldo can create great problems in HP defense......

[Magpie4eva]

I'm going for Hunter.

HP, Why is Ronaldinho on the bench and Edu is on :mellow: Also I would bring Eto'o on instead of Edu or Sissoko or De La Pena and do a 442.

Hunter: You have an all round good squad although I would take off Duff/Diarra and bring on Tuncay/Davids/Park.

The reason I believe HP is resting them is because each player has to play at least 5 League games. And hes obviously giving his other talent a run.

Same reason.

[Magpie4eva]

Oh ok I see.

[mattythewhite]

Hunter for me, he has a lot of power down the wings.

[Phatmann2003]

Hunter for me, just edges it in each department (defence, midfield and attack). I really need to start giving some of my players games too, forgot about that.

[Yossi]

Hunter has better wingers and strikers, he'd win.

[Dragonfly]

Has to be Hunter. Only Reyes9 has a better team.

[Highway Penguin]

Holy fuck! 9-0.

No point in voting, you've got to be shitting me though, not a single vote.

[martin_cranie]

Well i'm voting for you HP.

Both teams are very solid defensively, but I'll give a slight advantage to Hunter and his centre back duo.

In central midfield HP will dominate with relative ease. Diarra is very good and solid but we all know what a Paul Scholes tackle looks like so there's not really much chance they can triumph over Sissoko, Edu and De La Pena. Although I prefer the wide men that Hunter is fielding, I doubt the quality and, more importantly the amount of support they'll recieve as i've already stated HP's dominance in the middle.

Hunter has a lot of players capable of scoring goals but for me the main man, Ronaldo, is not up to the job on current form. Nihat will essentially be carrying the forward line by himself. Kuijt could probably do with a partner, but he works extremely hard and so should be no less effective than Nihat at the other end.

All in all it will be tricky for both teams to score but depsite his limited attacking numbers, I think that HP's attack will recieve more and better support from the rest of the team.

1-0 to HP.

[Usul]

Jesus Navas and Petrov are excellent and extremely dangerous wingers. I think HP's midfielders would overwhelm Hunter's and provide decent service to Kuijt, not to mention the crosses coming from Petrov and Navas. Kuijt is not one to miss too many chances. He is far more reliable than Ronaldo and Nihat at the moment, that's for sure. I predict a 1-1 draw.

[Highway Penguin]

16-2. This is ridiculous. Are you people mad at me? :erm:

:laugh:

Almost depressing, but not. Thanks to Muad and Martin, I really do think that Petrov and Jesus are just as dangerous down the wings and Kuijt is a better finisher than Ronaldo and Nihat currently. Ronaldo is very unreliable these days.

[Scarface]

That's a crazy scoreline. I do think Hunter would win this, but it wouldn't be completely one-sided. HP is strong in midfield and defence, so it wouldn't be easy to score against them, and he has some danger going forward with Edu and De La Pena's playmaking, 2 very good wingers, and a good finisher. 2/3-1 to Hunter, but as the score is so one-sided, i'll vote for Victor to get him nearer to scoring a goal.

[Charlie: 9]

I reckon that Hunters men would just do enough to win & has a better forward line, Kuijt wouldnt do much damage up there on his lonesome...

[Rasheed Sharq]

I agree with what Charlie9 says, I would say the same no more, no less. Hunter has a better formation, the 4-4-2 flat usually works against any other team that does not carry a 4-4-2. And his players are in good form. Bar Ronaldo.

[Keyser Soze]

Woah 4-1, theres been some high scoring games this week.

It's tight but I don't think a team of that quality should be losing that badly.

[Highway Penguin]

Ok that's fucking bullshit.
