Depth Chart Battles - Blondell v. Hurtado

In light of some recent super sub heroics, the debate has come to a head as to which of the two strikers should be primary back-up to Headmaster Kei Kamara. Erik Hurtado has picked up two goals in his last two appearances which were both timely, and really well finished. Meanwhile Anthony Blondell has only managed one goal and one assist so far in 2018.

Fans can be forgiven if recent results tend to sway opinions, and in this case, it’s hard not to lean towards Erik Hurtado. The Oregon native has come up with some big goals in his last two appearances, playing the super sub role to perfection.
