Detail Review

Passing

+ Pogba’s passing is top class. His through balls are beautifully weighted and become even more dangerous with the Playmaker trait. He can ping passes wide, switch play with ease and pick runners in behind without much effort. (9.6/10)

Pace

+ For a CM of his size, Pogba is surprisingly quick. His acceleration helps him burst forward on counters and he can even play like a second striker when space opens up. He feels fast enough to keep up with the tempo of most games. (9.5/10)

Shooting

+ His shooting is better than expected. Power shots feel strong and accurate, and his finesse shots are reliable from good angles. If you manage his weak foot properly, he can chip in with plenty of goals from midfield. (9.5/10)

Dribbling

+ Despite being 6'3, Pogba feels fairly smooth on the ball. His joystick dribbling is controlled and his 5 star skill moves give him solid skill stun on the lane change, which helps a lot when escaping pressure. (9.4/10)

Physical

+ Pogba is very strong and hard to knock off the ball. He shields possession well, wins shoulder battles and can contribute in the air during corners if positioned correctly. His presence in midfield is always felt. (9.4/10)

Positioning and Stamina

- High/med work rates push him more towards attack, though he does track back at times. The real issue is stamina. With only 4 star stamina, his performance drops sharply after around the 70th minute. (7.7/10)

Overall Rating: 9.2/10

Final Verdict

After a long hiatus of 18 months, Pogba is back in the game and with a bang. He is a complete, attack-minded midfielder who brings pace, strength and elite passing to the midfield. He feels dominant on the ball, can create chances effortlessly and score when given space. His only real drawback is stamina, which means you may need to sub him late on.
