Paulinho (from what I have seen) facilitates a multitude of tactics/formations. He can play in a 4231 or a 433 or even in a cm2 of a 442. He is the archetypal modern cm, tenacious, dynamic, technically proficient box to boxer who gets himself into the box and on the end of things.
He's not really a long ball pinging, 30 yard screamer scoring Gerrard, he's far busier, tidier and dynamic and he's not really a Lampard either, he's more tenacious and dynamic than him but no where near as prolific around the box (few midfielders are).
This is going to sound like damning with faint praise, but it's actually meant as a compliment, but he's really more of an upgrade on Parker.
