Let's start !

First, I want to say Mark's stats shown in his page only are the GO ones, while Dylan's and the Raimon duo's ones are the GO and CS ones.

So about GO stats : Dylan being a forward, his stats are a bit different. The three others are midfielders, so I'll now talk about their stats. But it'd be so stupid if I didn't talk about Dylan's stats...
 * If we add up Mark's stats when fully upgraded, we'll obtain a total of 1138, and Dylan's will give a total of 1184. Aoyama's stats and Ichino's stats respectively 1089 and 1072, thus meaning Mark and Dylan have overall better stats than the Raimon duo. But giving the total of stats don't mean all the stats are better.
 * Mark's kick is 114, while Aoyama's and Ichino's don't exceed 100, but I agree Ichino has no shoot and Aoyama only has one. However, this still makes Mark have a better kick and, as he also has more luck, scoring a goal could be easier.
 * What about dribbling and technique stats ? While Ichino only has 102, Mark and Aoyama almost has the same stat. About their technique, Ichino has the best technique of the three (his stat being 119), Mark has a good one (109), but Aoyama's isn't that good (91).
 * Aoyama's block stat, 128, surpasses Mark's stat (103), but this one doesn't have any block hissatsu and is not fit to be a defender; his position is definitively midfielder.
 * Let's finish the talk about GO stats with GP and TP. Ichino's TP is 175, which is good, but he doesn't have much GP. Mark and Aoyama have more balanced GP and TP.
 * His GP and TP stats are well balanced. His kick stat is way better than his friend's Mark, and Aoyama's and Ichino's seem so little. But that's explained by the fact he's a forward. Dylan has good dribbling and technique like Mark, but definitively surpass the Raimon duo with his speed. He can launch attacks faster with Mark than the two others can !

I'll be fast when talking about CS stats. Unfortunately, Mark's CS stats aren't shown on his page ! I'd be grateful if someone could add them, so I'd add those to my debate.
 * At the first look, Aoyama's and Ichino's stats really seem to have decreased. Even though Dylan's GP and TP decrease a bit, his kick becomes higher, 154 !!! However, his speed isn't as good as in GO.
 * Aoyama's block stat, which was kinda good in GO, now isn't that good in CS. We can also notice he doesn't have any block hissatsu anymore, which could be the reason why his block stat decreases.
 * Ichino's technique increased a little, but his speed didn't and instead, it went from 110 to 100.

My talk about stats is over. Let's have a look at their moveset now (hissatsus, skills) ! To compare their hissatsus a fairer way, I'll only talk about the GO and CS hissatsu.
 * Dylan and Mark don't have any block, and they focus on attacking, as they have offense and shoot hissatsu. Aoyama had a block in GO, but didn't have it anymore in CS. Ichino has offense, block and skills in the two games.
 * Aoyama's shoot, Koutei Penguin 2gou, consumes 50 TP like Mark's Panther Blizzard in CS; precedently, it consumed 55 in GO. These hissatsu could seem equal.
 * But then we can look at Dylan's shoots; Extend Zone consumes 55 too, and he had the chance to use Evolution ! A great hissatsu, as well as Dead Future in Chrono Stone ! Extend Zone gets replaced by Plasma Ball, which can be considered to be as strong as the other one.
 * Not to forget Mark can also use Joker Rains ~ With all these shoot hissatsu, they have more ways to score a goal than Aoyama does, as he can only use one shoot; though he would certainly not be used to score.
 * Aoyama and Ichino are shown to have offense, block hissatsus and even skills like Assist!, which they have. Mark has Offense Force in GO, and Dribble Plus 20 in CS, which as suggested by the name, will increase his dribble stat by 20. His dribbling being certainly good, it will make him be more trust-worthy when attacking. About Dylan, he has Chouwaza! in GO, a really good skill which increases the TP of a hissatsu, so increasing the power of the hissatsu too ! As he has strong shoots like Evolution, imagine it when used with the Chouwaza skill ! In CS, this skill gets replaced by "Long Shooter". Even if Dylan shoots from a long distance, the shoot's power may not decrease.
 * Aoyama's Gakushuu will make his experience gained be doubled, but this won't be used in any match, so it's not that important and won't make him win a match. However, Ichino's Technique Plus 10 is a good one; he possesses it in CS, and his technique stat being 124, getting a plus 10 bonus can be so important in the battles.
 * But Dylan's and Mark's abilities to launch attacks, and then score a goal, which is the main important thing of a match, makes them more useful. Aoyama and Ichino could block them, but Thief Eye is not that good. Shinkuuma and Air Bullet are a bit better, though, but a hissatsu such as Mad Juggler can beat them so easily.

I've finished talking about games ! Let's have a look at their performances in the anime.
 * Mark and Dylan were chosen in the national team of USA ! I think being chosen in the national team shows how they are strong. Aoyama and Ichino didn't seem to get chosen in the GO national team, and couldn't even play in the Raimon team ! Aoyama played against Genei and Dragonlink, while Ichino could only play in the finals, and they always were substitutes.
 * Remember that Aoyama and Ichino were part of the second Raimon team, and that they left it after Tsurugi beat them. They gave up so easily. Mark and Dylan did their best against Inazuma Japan and The Empire; without Ichinose, scoring against Teres was harder, as they could just use Unicorn Boost. It was the same against Inazuma Japan ! After a harsh battle, the match finished 4-3, but it was a great battle and they all enjoyed it.
 * As the Revolution was launched by Raimon, Ichino and Aoyama started to get interested by it and watched the match opposing Raimon to Teikoku. Then, they joined before the match against Kaiou... but they didn't play until the 1/4 finals, where only Aoyama could play, and as a substitute. Also, before that event, they were seen to be discouraged several times as they could not get Keshins.
 * Their unique moment of glory ? It was when they used Britannia Cross against one of Dragonlink's players, who had a Keshin at that time ! But Mark and Dylan obviously did better. That one, againt Makai Gundan Z, scored a goal without any hissatsu ! Just by making a superb feint which easily succeeded and permitted him to score !
 * Dylan also made us laugh when he swore, haha ! What a joker ~ But that's not the topic of that debate. Unicorn Boost, Gran Fenrir are splendid hissatsu which scored. Aoyama and Ichino never had that chance, and it's almost if Endou and Kidou weren't confident about them.
 * In Chrono Stone, they left the team once again. That REALLY showed HOW they love soccer... No, they didn't seem to. Only the Keshin users stayed. Aoyama even asked himself how he could've played a such violent sport.

Mark and Kruger were representants of the USA, and the first one was their captain while the second was nicknamed "Mister Goal". He deserved that nickname. How could we call the Raimon duo... well, what about the benchers !

My debate's now finished. Feel free to comment it and tell me what's wrong in it !
