Just to get an idea of how highly I rate this card, I have his base card untradeable yet I'm still using 1m of my coins to keep this version... He's basically a smoother, but slightly less defensive 90 Gullit for a fraction of the price. Don't waste this guy out on the wing, play him as an offensive "get forward" CM, CAM or even ST and put a Sniper on him.
I play him as a get forward, cover center and conservative interceptions LCM (conservative just for the reduced stamina loss). In this set up he always seems to pop up at the perfect time in and around the box, and with his 5* WF I'm always confident he can blast them in. He feels great on the ball yet he also has a nice stock in game which means he isn't easily pushed around. Even with his average defensive stats and being on "get forward", he contributes a lot in defense. It's not that rare for him to end up with more tackles won than my other defensive minded CM's. His defensive stats are just about high enough that his defensive Jockeying feels fairly smooth. And of course his passing is top tier.
So he's basically the perfect player for what I want in my set up. Only thing you could ask for would be higher defensive stats, but then he'd literally be better than Gullit and cost almost 10x the amount. If you need an offensive CM or a rounded CAM, Nedved is your man. He's the cheap Gullit.
