Cross-League Performance Projection

LOG (Level of Game) contextualizes performance across leagues of differing quality using Empire FGA's Competition_Tier_Base reference. Luna's 72.6 FGA is a fully scored figure — 32/32 T3 metrics confirmed across 31 appearances in the Liga Profesional Argentina.

Current Context

FGA Base · 32/32 T3 · Tier 3.5

LOG-Adjusted · Tier 2.6

Methodology

Formula: LOG-Adjusted Score = Base FGA × (Current League Tier ÷ Target League Tier).
Eredivisie: 72.6 × (3.5 ÷ 2.8) = 58.1
Belgian Pro League: 72.6 × (3.5 ÷ 2.6) = 62.7

Note: Because the Liga Profesional Argentina is the standard reference tier (3.5), moving to a stronger league (like the Eredivisie or Belgian Pro League) requires a significant LOG adjustment, which lowers the translated score.

Injury & Medical History

No Major Injury Record
No significant long-term injury history documented. Played 31 games with 29 starts in his debut LPF season.

Positive Filters

  • 32/32 core T3 metrics logged — Most complete assessment in the series
  • SOA 8.69 — 22 events (all-series record) — Confirmed speed on action across the entire LPF season
  • CRK 8.42 — 19 events — Elite creative risk-taking with no anti-indicators
  • 8 goals in 31 appearances from CAM — High output for a creative midfielder
  • €3.8M market value — Undervalued relative to T3 evidence
  • 21 years old — Deep inside the developmental window
  • Contract through 2029 — Club stability secured
  • Agent PTM listed — Professional representation confirmed

Caution Signals

  • MCS 6.6 (6 events) — Psychological duel vs Weigandt (Boca) dominates the sample. Needs rescopes vs different T1 opponents to confirm if this is a pattern or a match-specific response.
  • 11 yellow cards — High disciplinary count for a CAM. Suggests frustration or aggression when pressed.
  • Unproven outside Argentina — All senior career data comes from the Argentine league.

Critical Gaps

  • Complete T3 assessment means no data gaps — all metrics are verified
  • MCS distribution remains the only contextual uncertainty — needs to be tested against other elite physical opponents

Empire FGA Verdict

FGA 72.6 · Core 81.2 · Ultimate 69.0 — 32/32 T3 CONFIRMED. Alex Luna is a 21-year-old Argentine CAM with the most complete T3 evidence base in the series. His 22 SOA events and 19 CRK events at elite average scores represent the highest-confidence assessment in the batch. Market value €3.8M, contract until 2029. Professional recommendation: Confirm if MCS issue is match-specific vs structural. European market: €5–10M window. Do not wait — the T3 data is already sufficient to justify initial contact with PTM.
