Player Review
95 - TOTS
I rarely write Futbin reviews, but after I just finished the first half of my weekend league at 14-2, which is pretty good for me, I just had to.
Paulinho is absolutely unreal. I got lucky in my CSL/Eredivisie guaranteed and decided to try him out instead of Henderson. Luckily, Paulinho fit my team perfectly because of Brazilian links. In the way I set up my 442 formation, I normally have both CM's on Stay Back, because I feel like they bomb forward way too much if I don't. I decided to make an exception for Paulinho. That was one of the best decisions I've made in FIFA this year. When playing 442, you literally get an extra amazing attacker in Paulinho. He has more than fast and agile enough with Anchor and has an absolute rocket in his boots.
My CM's typically don't score a lot, but this Paulinho has 12 goals and 8 assists in 16 games. While playing at CM. There are probably several other players out there that could play this attacking CM role but Paulinho just absolutely crushed it for me.
Warning: to play this attackingly with one of your CM's, you have to have a world class defensive CDM or CM on Stay Back that can clean up. Paulinho is very solid defensively, but since he does so much work in attack he can get caught out of you try to do a lot with him. I personally use TOTY Kante.
Shooting in general
Passing
Strength
Speed (on and off ball)
Can be caught out defensively if you always force it to him in attack
