87 - Normal

3.5

Caution when using.

By felipefg, 06-04-2018

I know there is an upgraded 88 version of Pogba. But I've decided to buy this first one.

My in-game first impression was: He doesn't defend.

As many users tries him with Hunter chemistry style, I've tried too. Unsuccessfully. The pace and shooting boost by the hunter card is very good, but not resolve the defensive problem. He has only 68 of defence.

So, I tried SHADOW on him. BANG! THAT'S IT! Now I have decent pace (equals to hunter) and a HUGE defensive boost, jumping from 68 to 81, also, +1 of dribbling.

Now he really runs AND use his physical+defence to get the ball easily throwing the opponents out of the corners. By using shadow, his shooting is not affected, but still acceptable, 79.

I do not use him as a CAM because I have Mr. Erikmagicsen 88. He does de job. Sorry, Kevin De Bruyne.

Finally, if you are looking for a strong and tall midfielder player and have enough coins for that, go for Pogba only with SHADOW. Otherwise you will be pissed because of his low defensive stats.

I am planning to upgrade him to the 88 version as soon as I finish my Premiere League team.

STRONG. He is strong. I mentioned how strong he is? He wins every air fight too.
PASSING and DRIBBLING. Very good passer at short or long distances. He always will search an empty spot to receive the ball. 5* Skill Moves, he does almost any skill move you need.
SHOOTING. Using SHADOW on him, does not affect his shooting, however, still very good and powerful. Do not underrate this 79 shooting stats.

PACE. Low pace without SHADOW or HUNTER. He needs more, unless you use him as a CDM. (USE SHADOW, YOU'LL NOT REGRET)
DEFENCE. Low defence without SHADOW. If you are using it as a CM or CDM, you MUST use SHADOW on him. Otherwise, as a CAM, you can use HUNTER that fits better on this position.

Absolutely worth his coins!

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!

Pogba lost his what ?

This guy...

I wasn't convinced to buy him, thinking on use those 220k in some PTG or OTW, but a good friend convince me to buy him instead. Took me some games to get use to him, but after that even without full chemistry is something else. Seems slow, but he can dribble Bakayoko or Kante easilly and then, 30 mts from the goal: BOOM.. one goal over another, every single game after I understood him.9 goals in 21 games, not bad at ...
