86 - Rare

Tank is back
By Wogwon17, 09-10-2020

Hey guys, this is my first ever review. I'm reviewing my man Paul Labile Pogba.

First of all please excuse my english, I'm from germany.


I'm doing this review because I heard a lot of hate towards Pogba in Fifa 21 (especially from the german community). I really have not a single clue why so many don't like him. For me he is an absolute beast in every match. On cdm next to Goretzka in 4-2-2-2 formation he is the main gamechanger for me. His long legs paired with his strength is absolute madness. He gets like every tackle. Also in the attack he is very very strong for me. I tried lots of cdm/cms (no icons) and he is bay far the best.

I played Pogba since division 2 in rivals, now I am in division 1. First I was very sceptical if I should buy him because so much people said he is bad, but I dont regret buying him at all. For me he is an absolute gamechanger. His pace feels much faster than 73, dribbling is outstanding, passing as well, shooting is also very good, but I think I scored way more finess with him than power shots (but that might be just a feeling), defensive is very good, he gets everthing with his strength and his long legs it's unbelievable.


Overall I would recommend him any day of the week. I dont have a clue at all how ppl find him bad.

If you can get him cheap, give him a go and try him. I hope he performs that good for you as well.


And guys this is just my opinion, if you dont like him, please dont hate me :) I just wanted to write a review because I only heard bad things of him (except of some r2g pro players)


Cheers :)

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.

POGBA BEAAAST
By welwoond, 30-10-2020

Hello,

First of all i would like to say, English is not my main language so please dont mind my spelling.

I was lucky enough too pack him in a untradeable pack. the first day.

He has been the most consistent player in all my teams.

Hes really good defending wise, I've tried Partey 86, Kante 88, and kimmich 89, goretzka 84, allan. Although all of these are good pogba has been the best one.

I play a 4231 and i have pogba on balanced attack and the other cdm on stay back. The defending side is so good because of his long legs and strength. His long legs helps him intercept passes that would otherwise find their target.. he can also provide good passes going forward. He has 81 shooting but he often misses goals adama would score. The only cons are his stamina, pace and shooting. In the end of the day hes a really good box to box cdm. Would i buy him. If i had 1m yes, hes not worth buying if you have a team for 400 k imo.

Tanky in the best but also worst sense
By RicoFIFA, 02-12-2020

There's a trend on futbin where almost all reviews are about how good a player is because people tend to write reviews anytime they love a player, otherwhise they just sell them and move on. I wanted to break that trend by writing a review about one of the most popular players on futbin who I don't recommend.


Now to start things off, I almost only played Weekend League due to time constrictions, he featured in three, I played mostly a 4-4-2 with him in CM and also 4-2-3-1 with him as CDM next to Valverde and then more often Kante. My skill is debatable but I am a Division 1 player and hit at least Gold 1 though I tend to be forced to play in a short amount of time and not when I actually want to.


Now the reviews in existence are from very early in the game and one from early November and are all 5*, I suppose at that time Pogba was a gamechanger as he would be much better than what you usually faced and the Meta wasn't commonly used by most players. There days however I can only say stay clear. Yes, Pogba can really create a goal with a nice long ball into a striker if given the opportunity, he can score on both feet, he can maybe a few times destroy someone with a 5* skillmove, he is also extremely strong so when he gets to the opponent it's likely you'll win the ball.

However he is also unbalanced and turns like a truck. Which is horrible considering the importance of agility and balance both in attack and defense. When trying to defend with him I always found myself not getting into the right spaces and into the tackle quickly enough with him, when in offense I was always scared to be forced to do a quick turn with him. He also had his odd moments where he would lose a header to someone like Davies for some reason. He also didn't necessarily body someone like Frenky de Jong in direct confrontation though he should be much stronger. He turned out to be my least favourite player in the team and a ultimately a liability. I would actually recommend picking someone like Fred over him simply because Fred can get everywhere really quickly and be a constant annoyance to any opponent. Pogba however can cost you goals because he may lose the ball to a quicker smaller player due to his inability to turn well and also the same issue occurs against the ball.


Just look at inform or UEL Renato Sanches for comparison. He doesn't have 5* skills, is smaller, weaker, less passing. But he is so much more balanced and agile that he is 10times better at least and actually features some high end squads.


For a player that won't really make a positive difference for you the price is ridiculous. He doesn't suck but the higher your level and your opponents level gets, the less usable he becomes.


Stay clear. There are cheaper and better and more fun options out there. Inform Paulinho is cheaper (harder to link of course) and so much better for example.

He Plays 3x Better Than His Stats
By cjgioia, 13-10-2020

I use Pogba as more of attacking midfield in 4-3-2-1 formation he plays really well a lot better than his stats portray. His card plays like it would be a 90 overall. I use a engine chem style in order to get that extra pace and passing.


He plays a important role in my teams midfield. He creates lots of chances for my attackers with over 40 assists in 25 games. Van de beek and Goretzka play well beside him as more of a defending role getting the ball to him so he can create chances for the attackers. I stick to the 4-3-2-1 in-game because I feel he plays a lot better there than in any other formation he changed my play style and carries me through tough games.


If you do get his card it will change your team for the better.
