Pace & Dribbling

Pogba has tremendous dribbling abilities. Even though you can't expect him to be super agile like Messi or Ronaldinho he is still able to defend a lot of defenders just by dribbling moves. 5* skill moves help quite a lot. Since I also use him with the Lengthy type he is also very fast compared to the players with a similar body type. One important tip I could give, however, is that you shouldn't run too much if you want to get past defenders with him. Make as many touches on the ball to make sure you still control it and beat defenders by outplaying them slowly.


Passing

I think Pogba is for me the best passer so far that I've had in my until now. I can't describe his effectiveness in the midfield as he is distributing the ball everywhere quite easily. He is also a beast when it comes to very hard passes. I can assure you he makes those passes look so easy. Also, his flair pass ability is one of a kind as you can see in the examples above.


Shooting

I think his shooting is okay whenever he gets free space. As a box-to-box midfielder, I think you will be more than satisfied with his shooting performance. However, I highly recommend that you avoid his weak foot when you are about to shoot, otherwise you can be very disappointed.


Defending

With lengthy type and his huge hitbox, Pogba is a very good defender. He can literally cut of any pass and is very hard to beat in physical challenges. For the best defending outcomes I recommend either Shadow or Anchor chemistries, but the Anchor is the one which makes him lengthy.


Conclusion

Pogba is one of the box-to-box midfielders in the game right now. He can be very versatile, can play CDM, CM and CAM, wherever you need him to be! He is also very easy to fit into your team if you have French players or Serie A squad. He is also definitely not overpriced as he will carry you to the later stages of the game with no problem!

My personal recommendation: Complete the SBC and give him a try, you won't regret it!
