Eder Alvarez Balanta career history until 2021

This FM 2015 player profile of Eder Alvarez Balanta shows one of our favourite wonderkids from the previous edition of the game, an awesome young central defender. Moreover, he comes at a very reasonable price at the start of the game, if you have a bit of money in your transfer kitty buying this kid right away is an obvious choice.

In my test save he joined Borussia Dortmund in 2015 and then made a big-money move to Juventus in 2018. He didn’t have such a good time in the Bundesliga but he made up for the lost time in the Serie A, his average ratings through three full seasons speak for themselves. His profile in October 2021  shows a central defender with perfect marking, solid heading and tackling, very good speed and strength and also top notch mental attributes. With 20 for marking and 19 for positioning I guess he can make you feel very safe at the back.
