Where Balanta was a beast in 15 and would absolutely tower above Mammana the difference between the two in 16 is minimal imo(Balanta still takes it by a TINY TINY bit)
Balantas concentration and decisions attributes completely rule him out for me. I wouldn't put a player with those attributes anywhere in my team, never mind at the heart of defence. Mammana on the other hand, looks to have improved slightly this time around, having already been extremely solid in 15. Mammana all the way!
Balanta better for me he's a good goal threat scores a lot from corners. I bought him in my 2nd season for RB Liepzig in Germany he's flying already 4 games 3 goals
I've found Balanta to be far less impressive on this year's game than in previous versions. He rarely averages above 7 for me over the course of a season.
