Ibrahim Sissoko is a 17‑year‑old centre‑back for ASFB in the Burkinabe Ligue 1. He stands 1.89m – an excellent frame for a central defender at any level. Video analysis across 5 matches (partial) reveals elite run timing (OBI_T 8.83, 3 events) and explosive acceleration (SII_A 9.0, 2 events). The best sequence came in Match 3 vs Cascades, where he recorded 9/10 on OBI_T, SII_A, and OMS in quick succession – a genuine physical‑cognitive signal.
The assessment is incomplete. OBI_S (space creation), SII_T (top‑end speed), SII_R (recovery sprints), and all mental metrics (CHR, MCS, CLM, CRS) have zero events. For a young CB, character and composure under pressure are as important as physical tools. Without these, the profile is a raw physical sketch, not a finished evaluation.
At 17, playing regular senior football in West Africa, the raw material is extremely interesting. But Empire FGA cannot recommend recruitment action until the full 16‑metric video protocol is completed. Priority: SII (complete 3 events each for SII_A, SII_T, SII_R), OBI_S, and CHR/MCS.
Recruitment Recommendation
Hold – Complete Assessment First. The partial signals (OBI_T, SII_A) are top‑tier for his age and region. However, missing data on top‑end speed, character, and mental competence makes any market valuation speculative. Recommended next step: 2‑3 additional match observations focused on SII_T, SII_R, OBI_S, and CHR. If those metrics confirm the physical profile, he becomes an immediate target for European youth academies or reserve teams. Estimated current value: €20k–€50k (projection if completed: €150k–€300k).
