NOT A CDM IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE!!

By Pearl1337, 20-07-2020

I love Pogba, he is really fun to play with and might make my starting xi, but i need to be completely modest and honest:

Seeing as I already had two immaculate CDM's in Wijnaldum and Fabinho, and the perfect CAM in Bruno Fernandes (which also contributes alot in backtracking and defending) it was hard for me to bench any of them for Pogba, even though I completed him using players like TOTS Nani and Promes, since I really wanted him in my squad.

Experimenting alot in 4231, 442 and other formations this is what I have concluded with:

CDM: No go! His medium workrates combined with his defensive stats results in creating alot of space in midfield for my opponents to attack in, even on stay back/cover center and with a shadow chem style in 4231.

CM: In a 442 he was def good as a CM, but you should really pair him with someone that has high def. workrate and good defensive stats.

CAM: This is where he shines for me. Not having to worry about his defending capabilities, you can have fun with this 6"3 monster of a player.

This card is just something inbetween every position for me, and was hard to find his natural and good position. The card is a beast, dont get me wrong, and for sure is very usable, but you should be very wary of who you use around him. I think you should look at him as a CAM and not a CDM, or possibly a box to box CM.

I used the engine chem style for him , but I think a hunter might be just as good.

I dont know if putting Bruno as a CDM and benching one of my other CDMS is worth it for playing him tbh.

6"3 stocky presense in midfield is a huge plus no matter what

5* skillmoves is incredibly fun with him

99 shot power / 94 longshots actually makes him a goalmachine, regardless of his finishing

92 heading accuracy / 88 jumping makes him win alot of cruical duels in midfield for me

95 attack positioning makes his off the ball movement really good, attacking wise, always runs into space and has the creativity to create big scoring opportunities

everything about his passing is really good

83 agility / 73 balance does indeed make him a bit clunky, which is okay, but indeed being "non-meta" will make an impact for you

86 finishing is something I wish would be better, which would make him more of a certified CAM

96 strength / 84 agression actually, believe it or not, doesnt make him hold onto the ball alot. no sticky for me with him, and loses the ball more often than you'd think

4* weakfoot actually withholds him from being one of the best cams in the game i think. misses quite alot on his left, because of his finishing.

79 acceleration isnt the best, even boosted he is obviously not lightning fast, but his stock and strengt does make up for it tbh

(D)absolute unit (Pogba)

Let me just start by saying I made a Futbin account just to write this review. I’ve been playing since FIFA 14/15, and have always casually been around division 1/2 (not saying I’m good or anything, just that I have quite some FIFA experience). Before I buy a player I’m always looking at the comments/reviews to see what people think about certain aspects of the player before I buy someone. What surprised me though...

POGBOOM

I really like the way Pogba plays, his longs legs combined with his strength can catch every ball. I use him with shadow and play him as a cdm or cm in 4231 or 442 and I am suprised. You really feel his presence at the pitch and he will bring you further. I am playing between g1 and e3 and in div1 and I really like the way he plays if you put stay back at attacking and just send him forward from tim...
