He's getting a lot of playing time at Monaco so he must be a good player but I really dont know much about him.

He scored 4 times in league play in about 100 games. Played for Strasbourg last year (on loan I assume). He has a brother that plays for Strasbourg. I believe he's a swedish international (bench warmer though).
I saw him play a couple of times on TV. I was not impressed but he seems like an ok player.

He played well against PSG last season......lol.....
Yes he was on loan at Strasbourg last year
His brother Alexander, (who is s**t hot in CM4!) plays for Starsbourg too. He has actually scored this season I believe.
As for Pontus, he has played well for ASM in getting them to top of le championnat and scored a neat goal against his former team-mates (and brother.) in a 2-1 win at Louis II last night.

Personally i think he is a verey talanted footballer but he's played out of position. Unfortunately coaches today dont risk techniqual [well...and physically weak] players like Pontus in more central defensive roles, cuse he isnt a number 10 either.

Since he is a defensive midfielder, he doesn't get real attention, but he is an essential player in a team: discreet, plays simply, is there when you need him. Not a superstar attitude, but he gets the job done.
Oh, and all babes find him sexy. In Strasbourg, he had to remove them constantly from his way. Must be this "swedish blonde viking" fantasy the girls have.
