There was actually the same match on my blog xD Close match but I'm going for Saginuma.

I'll start from the top with leadership qualities. Saginuma is a far better leader. Midorikawa was a captain as Reize, but he didn't do much as captain. Saginuma gave sharp orders to his teams in both Epsilon and Neo Japan, meaning he has some of the best leadership qualities in the entire series.

As Forwards: In Inazuma Eleven 3, Midorikawa has a kick stat of 63, and Saginuma has a kick of 75 making Saginuma the physically more powerful forward. Let's not forget he displayed great capabilities in the anime with Gungnir breaking through Seigi no Tekken. Moving onto hissatsu waza: Gungnir is more powerful than Astro Gate, making him a better forward in both ways.

As Midfielders: Midorikawa has a body of 59, and Saginuma has a body of 68 therefore Saginuma is the physically better midfielder. Midorikawa does, however, have far better control and speed making it quite a close call in terms of Midfield. Let's not forget that Lighting Accel is just slightly stronger than Dash Storm.

To sum it up, it's a close match, but in the end Saginuma wins as a striker and I'd say they're on level in midfield. Also mentioning that Saginuma is Fire element and Midorikawa is Wood, giving Saginuma the advantage.

Vote goes to Saginuma Osamu.
