Here's my debate.

First, let's have a look at their stats in the games. While Tenma seems better than Taiyou in the first GO game, Taiyou largely beats him in Strikers 2013:
 * Tenma doesn't even have any S stat while Taiyou has 2 S. Fubuki21, you said Tenma has a move in every position. But, even though he has God Hand W, you would never play with him as GK because he only has a C in catch.
 * So your arguments, about the fact Tenma has moves in every position, can't be accepted.

And in Chrono Stone. In that game:
 * He has more GP/TP, a better kick and good dribbling/block/speed. His catch stat is bad, but he isn't fit to be a GK, we all know it. Actually, Tenma isn't fit to be GK too, as he only has 88.

Now, what about the hissatsu ? I'm gonna finish this debate with my opinion on Taiyou in the anime.
 * It's easy to notice that Taiyou's hissatsu in Chrono Stone and Strikers 2013 mostly are, either shoot or offensive hissatsu. In Strikers, Tenma got a lot of hissatsu, but are all these necessary for him ? They gave him too much. 3/4 are useless. To finish talking about their hissatsus in Strikers 2013... Taiyou has Ryuusei Blade, in Keshin Armed too, and can use Spark Edge Dribble while Mixi Maxed/Keshin Armed. That's awesome.
 * About GO now. They got shoot/offensive/defensive hissatsu, but Taiyou possesses a skill, Chouwaza. By seeing info about it, I think it can be very useful for him, because he score more easily !
 * 'take a look at Taiyou's hissatsus in Chrono Stone. He doesn't have any defense hissatsu anymore, but got a Mixi Max with Koumei. Tenma has Mixi Maxes with Shuu AND King Arthur. But DOES he get any new Keshin ? Nope. With Koumei's aura, Taiyou can use Souten no Hasha Gyokuryuu. What a great Keshin, at least it's more beautiful than Tenma's Majin Pegasus (Arc).

The developers couldn't gave him an important role; Arakumo Gakuen's captain. Watch again episode 38 and 39. Taiyou's playing style makes him unpredictable. When I'm saying unpredictable, I mean he scored a goal by tricking Shinsuke ! The first time he shot, it only was a trap, so he could score again without using his Keshin. Also... he scored three goals. HAT-TRICK. Did Tenma ever do that ? Nope. He never did a such thing. That makes Taiyou way more awesome and fans love him because of that/and others things too, obviously.

Taiyou reappeared in Chrono Stone. His illness was cured, and immediately, two eps after his come-back... he got his own Mixi Max, much to the others surprises, as it even was a Mixi Max different from the others (forced Mixi Max). He had his own tactic (Kimon Tonkou no Jin) and finally, he was able to use Keshin Armed lately.

I'm closing my debate by saying, Taiyou got a sad childhood and he should be rewarded.
