Mercurial for sure. Or those new Adidas Predators, they're pretty nice. This may sound weird but Mercurials are best exclusively for offense, so if you ever play defender/mid you might want to consider hypervenoms.

Go with the mercurials. The weight difference is negligible and most reviewers have had durability issues with the hyper venom. Granted nike-skin is much nicer but if you're gonna be wearing them for a while the mercurials will be a better option. (Make sure you fit them properly or neither will last very long)

forget those 2, go for Adidas Kaiser. Those are very good, very nice looking (imo) and oldskool

[quote=Mapl3r]from my experience mercurials are a heavier more solid pair of boots, offers decent movement. mercurials are also great for almost any position. atm im using hypervenom after switchin from mercurials, the boots are good and yes they are very light but i find the level of protection bad, thts puttin it mildly. one u get stepped or slid at you will understand why mercurial is a safer bet. when it comes down to shootin its just gettin used to the boots really. hypervenoms are wonderful if ur forward but only playing a forward role, i dont have any problem apart from the lack of protection, go with hypervenoms if u want a light pair of boots.! hope this helped.[/quote]

I have also noticed that mercurial are heavier. As of now, I think i might go for the hypervenom as my coach will probably put me up front for the short sprints. Will also consider others comments before actually buying them.

I would go with the mercurials, only because I've used them before and they're pretty solid. Haven't used the other pair so I don't have an opinion
I personally use total 90 laser fg's
(I play Left mid/wing)
