While opening the advanced sbc packs with some friends, i stated 'i have never packed an icon', which is true. I have only packed icons from guarantees. I played over 700 games with this card last year, so when he popped out of a 50k pack a few hours into my trial i was buzzing. I am holding onto him into the game fully comes out (in the hopes he rises or actually begins selling) because no one has the kind of money to throw about buying this guy. He has a very well-rounded card, he rarely gets shoved off the ball (not many people have physical midfielders this early in the game) and he wins so many more headers then he did when i used him mid-game last year. His passing is one of his best attributes, he can ping long, short and put in a great cross, corner and free kick. His defending stats are good, but i feel he is wasted at cdm. If you want a cheap cdm that has the defensive ability of gullit but can't attack or win headers that much then buy gbamin. He does like to attack, he will score a few goals, popping up with a few headers at the back post because yet again, not many people have good full backs at this stage in the game. I know that my team is very average beside gullit, so he has to dominate my midfield in order to help me win games, and he does so. In terms of value for money.... lets just say right now he will play brilliantly, but 1.5mil is ALOT for a card.

Is baby Gullit worth 10 icon swaps? The short answer is yes, for you casual players out there. However, If you're a serious weekend league player, there are far better options in midfield that are more effective in building a formidable team.

With a player as iconic as Gullit, you expect him to run the show, but in fact his base card provides a different flavour. Do not use him to dominate the midfield, like his other versions are capable of, rather use him as a reliable box to box player. If I had to compare him to something, I'd say he's a mix between Sissoko and Pogba; his defensive capabilities are strong whilst having a great eye to pick out a pass. Unfortunately, his shooting is not up to par at this point in the game, however, all his other stats seem to hold up. His dribbling and strength were a pleasant surprise to me as they felt far stronger than the stats suggested. In my opinion, his biggest let down is his stamina. This guy needs a supporting midfielder with him as I realised that he becomes knackered at around the 75-minute mark when I gave him the main box to box cm.

In conclusion, base Gullit is perfect for those who want to get a solid icon from the swaps, he's not trash like some people suggest, and yes, the name Gullit certainly adds a sort of prestige to his game. It may be a placebo effect, even if it is it's working. With these 10 tokens, EA will tease you with what 90+ Gullit could have been like in your team, but i'd say it's worth it considering you have a very decent chance of getting a dead baller in the prime icon pack.

Just packed him in an icon sbc. I was really enjoyed to put him in my squad. I play in div 2 and I make Gold 1 everytime in WL. He is everywhere on the pitch and switch position when he wants with the CAM or the CDM, i dont know if its related to his "leadership" trait. He is really smart on his moves and propose always a good solution. He is really tough on defense and it is really difficult to pass through, but you may have to replace him at the end of the game if it goes to the extra time, cause he has a bad stamina.

I really like play with him, he is really good at every position of the midfield but i feel like he has to play CM (i tried CDM and CAM) because he is good everywhere but not really excellent either.

I've played a few games with him and to be honest I don't think he's that good how everybody told me.

He can really bully the opponents but an issue is his stamina.

After around 60-70 Minutes you have to sub him off.

I've packed him untradeable but to be honest I wouldn't pay that much for that card.

I have Gullit from Icon swaps, everyone told me not to do it, but I did it, because its Gullit! :D

But seriously, I was very surprised, this card replaced my Dele Alli 88 rated and even this Gullit is much MUCH better. His stats are not great, but in game he is beast for me ( when he has stamina). His passing is INSANE both legs, his defending is great and he is pretty good in attack. He is everywhere on the pitch. Shooting is bad, but finishing is decent with his composure.

There is one big BUT. That is his stamina. In 75. minute he is pretty much off, so you need some supersub for him. But those 75 minute he is great.
