Player Review
87 - Normal
I wasn't quiet sure if it is actually worth to pay half a million on a CM which has really weak defending. I played him as a RCM in the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) Formation. In 16 matches Pogba scored 7 goals and also had 7 assists. I played him with Shadow to boost his Pace and Defending. All I can say is, he is worth his 500K. He is an allrounder and can do it all!
His pace: For some reason his 74 Pace (boosted with Shadow) feels like 90. Once you start running with him there's no way someone catches him and gets him away from the ball
His shooting: For some reason he only has 79 Shooting but every long shot finds a way to the goal and is at least a danger for the opponent
His passing: Solid passing, nothing special.
His dribbling: He really feels like 84 dribbling. He always is really close to the ball so you can do sharp movements with him and still keep the ball
His defending/physics: Due to his physics he can push away any player, doesn't matter who. I'd suggest playing him more offensively but if you play him as a CDM, he catches any player and pushes him away from the ball.
Skills, Weak Foot, etc.: His five star skills are also a attitude that make him special. If you can skill, it's worth doing it as his dribbling is good and fits to it really good. His left foot feel like his right one. Due to his for stars weak foot you can also score long shots with it. I realized that Pogba supported my offense quiet massively. Maybe because he has H/M work rates but he is always up front but also in the midfield when you need him. That helps you to improve your attacking play.
There aren't any major cons I realized.
Defending: I didn't see any problem with his 68 defending as you can boost it with Shadow. However it might get a problem if you try another chemistry style.
Work rates: To me this wasn't a problem, but if you play Pogba as a CDM, you might realize that he's up front almost all the time. For sure he makes his way back to midfield but doesn't really help as a CDM. He simply plays his role as a CM (between CDM and CAM).
