俺のターン! (It's my turn!):

Stats
Tsurugi has 153 GP and 144 TP, while Fubuki has 150 GP and 144 TP, so Tsurugi has a marginal advantage here. Kick, the most important stat for FWs, is tied at both 165, so no one has a advantage here. Tsurugi has 119 Dribbling, while Fubuki has 126, which allows him to dribble past opponents easier and more effective. Tsurugi has 102 Block, while Fubuki has 128 and thus grants him more chances of stealing the ball from opposing players. The Catch stat, which is really unnecessary for forward, is also tied at 66 (just for the records). The Technique stat is at 126 at Tsurugi, whereas Fubuki's is stuck 114. It should be noted however that this stat is mainly used by GKs. Fubuki, which Speed is highly approved in the anime, also beats Tsurugi in the game by having 119; Tsurugi = 107, and allows him to get ahead of opposing defenders or catching up opposing strikers, when used as a defender. Unfortunately Tsurugi gets a higher Stamina stat (Tsurugi = 112; Fubuki = 92), aswell as a higher Lucky stat (Tsurugi = 109; Fubuki = 81), which allows him to endure more on the field and getting more crits, compared to Fubuki. Stamina luckily gets skyrocketed by Mixi Maxing, so it isn't that bad for Fubuki, who got a few Best Match Mixi Maxes under his sleeve.

In conclusion, while Tsurugi seems to be better suited as a classic striker, Fubuki can this play position as good as Tsurugi, if not better, and play aswell as MF, which can be seen at looking at his stats, which do not only exceed at Kick.

Hissatsu
Tsurugi:
 *  [SH] Death Sword (Type: Fire, TP: 35, Power: 80, Shibire: 10)
 *  [SH] Death Drop (Type: Fire, TP: 55, Power: 120, Shibire: 30)
 *  [SH] Fire Tornado DD (Type: Fire, TP: 60, Power: 180, Shibire: 20)
 *  [SH] Great Blaster (Type: Fire, TP: 70, Power: 170, Shibire: 50)

Fubuki:
 *  [SH] Eternal Blizzard (Type: Wind, TP: 45, Power: 110, Shibire: 10)
 *  [SH] Wolf Legend (Type: Wind, TP: 50, Power: 120, Shibire: 15)
 *  [OF] White Blade (Type: Wind, TP: 40, Power: 130, Keshin Damage: 35)
 *  [DF] Ice Ground (Type: Wind, TP: 35, Power: 140, Keshin Damage: 25)

Looking at the hissatsu waza it can be seen, that Tsurugi is more designed to be a classic striker, while Fubuki should be planned as an allround player. Nevertheless, while Fubuki gets the upper hand at the DF and the OF hissatsu waza, Fubuki unluckily gets overwhelmed at the SH department. While Eternal Blizzard and Wolf Legend are stronger than Death Sword, Tsurugi's other hissatsu waza are indeed stronger. But, as Earth goalkeepers are more frequently used, Fubuki's hissatsu waza should be able to damage the goalie. His OF and DF techniques should not be forgotten, as they can change the monumentum of the match significantly.

Mixi Max
While Tsurugi has more Mixi Maxes, some of them are not that useful for him (Kanzen Nenshou, Slim Range, Ikemen UP!) or done with weaker characters (Hayabusa, Namikawa). Hakuryuu gives him Keshin no Setsuyaku!, Tenma gives him Zero Magnum, Shindou gives him a OF technique in form of Tsubame Gaeshi and Yuuichi gives Fire Tornado TC, those should not be underestimated, as they can be pretty powerful. Unfortunately for him Tenma and Shindou, who are MFs, are also part of the BMMM factors, but do not give him enough boosts to enforce him in a good way.

Fubuki has "only" two, but especially the one with Gouenji is pretty powerful and gives him Critical!, a skill which enables him to gain more crits, useful in nearly every aspect. The Mixi Max with Yukimura gives him Maboroshi Shot, a shot which is slightly stronger than Wolf Legend and spotting a different element and also a interesting skill: Recovery. It allows a player to recover faster from being immobilized, which is extremely useful when playing as a MF or DF.

Keshin
This section will not taken into consideration, as Fubuki does not spot one. It should be noted however, that possesing a Keshin is a useful thing to have, as it allows the player to use more powerful techniques.

Conclusion
I conclude my debate that, while Tsurugi may be used more on a FW position, Fubuki can play the role as good as him and additionally can play other positions, such as MF or DF.

(I really need to shorten my debates...)
