Eliaquim Mangala endured a less-than-perfect start at Manchester City, and failed to impress during his debut Premier League season after arriving from Porto for a staggering fee worth up to £32 million. He just didn't look suited to the Premier League. However, the French defender has started the new season in very good form for City, with a particularly impressive performance against Chelsea. Mangala's stats were impressive on FIFA 15, with an 80 overall rating backed up by 90+ jumping and aggression, as well as 86 strength and a string of good defensive stats. If he maintains that on the new game he'll be a sure-fire beast capable of slotting into almost any Ultimate Team.
