Player Review
86 - Rare
What can I say. Being a United fan I get excited to use Pogba every FIFA since he returned and each year I've been disappointed. He's been slow, clunky and just not suited to playing in any of my teams. This year at 200k I thought I'd give that another go as he surely can't be any lower. He plays better than any of his previous years and is a game changer. Easily a 500k card and someone I'd rather have over De Bruyne.
I play him CM in a 4-4-2 with Fabinho and he is perfect. Dominating the midfield physically and also being able to spray the ball around not missing a beat. He's agile, fast and his dribbling is smooth. There is not one bad thing I can say about him.
His work rates act great in this balanced 4-4-2 and he often arrives late to score or drives through the midfield to set up/score. in 40 games he's scored 20 goals and assisted 15. Both my ST's are 1 goal + 1 assist a game. I'm an average FIFA player in previous years, Gold 1 for WL consistently and Elite 3 occasionally. With Pogba in my CM I'm not in Div 1 and looking forward to seeing what I can reach in the first WL.
At this price I can't emphasise enough that he is a MUST.
Smooth
Strong
Dominating
The only con I would say is don't use him at CDM or CAM. It's a waste. Even in a pivot CDM role he is wasted by being too deep.
Play him as a true CM on a balanced formation and let him dictate the play. Often he plays slightly higher up than my other CM which allows me to break the lines and create space with him. He won't be bullied off the ball by other midfielders and even most CB's. But has the pace and agility to side step with RB (R1 PS) to move past anyone rushing.
